Sometimes designs can just look a bit too clean! One of my solutions to this issue is grunge textures.
I am a big fan of applying a grunge texture to my work before displaying them on social media. I personally find it really sets the design in place. For a long time, and I’m talking years, I used Spoon Graphics fantastic grunge pack. But I decided it’s now time to make my own original assets from scratch.
So I took some photos of textures of objects and surfaces around my desk, I then popped them on to photoshop and crunched down the values to speckles. Once I had a few shapes, I started layering them and subtracting one from another with layer masks and I created my own first unique grunge texture pack.
I plan to make a more detailed tutorial following my process and create a mega pack for you to download in the future.
