A Couple of Free Wood Textures

Free Wood Textures from Design Reviver

There have been several sites lately that incorporate wood in the design in some way or another. It gives a site a warm and natural feel, and can help make the design look great when done tastefully. If you have yet to do a design with wood, here are a few textures that might help you get in on the action.

Delicious Golden Ribbon

Have you ever tried finding a golden ribbon inside of a chocolate bar wrapping to no avail? Well that’s obviously because there are none in them! Just joking, but seriously, who needs real ribbons when we can make our own?

In this quick Photoshop tutorial we’ll be designing our own sweet, golden ribbon! This is a basic tutorial, however I won’t exactly be detailing all the tools, etc. in-depth so much, so this might be suitable for new Photoshop users.

Add Stock Textures to Images for extra ‘Oomph’

In this little Photoshop tutorial we’ll be designing a quick art piece, then we’ll be adding some texture to it, this is to demonstrate the use of texture in artwork, as you may be able to see in works from people such as GoMedia. Obviously this method will work better with some things and not so well with others, so please try to use it in moderation, if you will.

Add Texture to Artwork for that extra Oomph

Yes, my opinion may be a little bit biased in the above image, but you know, you get the point :)

Everyone Needs Inspiration, Sometimes

Searching for Inspiration

Whether it be for web, graphic or print design, I think everyone needs and can do with a little inspiration at some point, and there’s nothing wrong with it, is there? Normally I just like to look at the colors and shapes of other website designs, since those are my main weak points (I recommend you do the same).

I’ve composed a small list of my main inspiration sources, please feel free to check ‘em out. There’s plenty of good stuff here to go around :P

- Smashing Magazine

smashing Magazine

Not only does their website look great, but they also have a ‘Monday Inspiration’ feature, which has included things such as type in motion, futuristic interfaces, and everything in between. Smashing Magazine also has tons of articles on every different subject, recently they published a Photoshop tutorials article which included 3 tutorials from PhotoshopStar.
