Textures play a more important role in web-design and digital graphic art in general than you might think. Instead of inventing sophisticated wheel in Photoshop just use pre-made high-res textures in your design. Here you can see the first selection of wonderful and FREE textures of paper – grunge, retro, burnt, scrapbook sheets and a lot more.

All these textures are adjustable and have a lot of presets. To use them, just download the fully-functional trial version of Filter Forge and use it for an entire month (PC and Mac versions are available). When Filter Forge is installed on your computer, you can just click on the links in this post and the filters will open in your Filter Forge.

Here are some simple ones: Paper sheet generator by Zeamar. Just for a start.

Do you know how a trasure map looks like? Spelunker’s Scribble by Crapadilla
