Being a designer you usually want to spend time doing what you’re best at. When making a logo, a website header or a brochure, – you often run into situations where you should have had a certain type of brush for that little extra to add to the design. It’s quite likely someone have already made it, so why take a lot of time to have to do it when you’d rather be designing?

This time we’ve made a collection for you with a great variety of free brushes for Adobe Illustrator. Finding Photoshop brushes is usually a bit easier than the Illustrator ones, so hopefully this roundup will help you save some time on that!

Awesome Freebies: 500+ of The Best Photoshop Patterns

Free stuff is always popular, and this time it’s really useful as well. You may be quite familiar with a lot of the great features of Photoshop, but have you truly used the great advantages given by using patterns?

These can serve as backgrounds for any design and you wont have to spend a lot of time making them. They can be repeated over and over and you can do your own adjustments to them as well. By using the fill command in Photoshop (shift+ F5), you can choose to fill any shape or selection with a pattern of your choice. This gives a broad range of amazing new ways to creativity.

We’ve put together this huge collection of free patterns for you, and tried to cover all sorts of themes and colors for you to have a complete set for your designers toolbox.

Why spend hours to make a carbon-fiber, rock or floral pattern if there’s already a perfect one out there?

Enjoy!
