One of the best free stuff Graphic
Designers can find on the Web for free are high resolution
backgrounds and textures. Long gone are the days when you had
to buy very expensive CDs in order to obtain good quality
backgrounds for your design projects.
By that time, marble and granite textures were all the rage. But
now it seems that paper is becoming the new king. Lots of
Web
Designers are embracing the delicate look of a piece
of paper with a subtle shadow. And if it is torn or folded, much
better.
This gallery shows some paper
backgrounds I collected from different sites. If you
would like to add some nice effects to some of these textures,
you can read a tutorial I wrote about
creating paper folds and creases to paper textures in
Photoshop.
Please, read about the usage rights: All of these
textures should be free for commercial use, but to be
absolutely sure, check each web site usage terms and license before
downloading. Below each image sample, there is a link to the usage
license. In some cases, where the scope of the license was not
clear enough, I placed a link to the author profile so you can
contact him. You can also read this excellent
Guide to Finding and Using Incredible Flickr
Images to help you find more free images for your
work.
