With this technique you will be able to distress any designs or illustrations and give your graphic work a nostalgic look of ghost signs and vintage adverts, classic look of frescos or murals, or an urban look of street art.

You can use these textures to:

• contextualise your work;
• create mock-ups;
• or just create awesome textured work for the sake of vintage or urban aesthetics!

In this class you will learn:

• how to create these textures from scratch using smart filters in Adobe Photoshop;
• how to customise these textures & create alternative looks;
• how to adjust these effects to fine tune your textures;
• how to get the most out of applying these effects to different types of graphics, including raster images, vector graphics, typographic compositions, lettering, solid colours, gradients & patterns;
• how to combine multiple textures;
• how to create designs consisting of multiple paint layers;
• how to manually edit your textures to remove or bring back details;
• and how to scale your textured files to keep all of the effects intact.
