If you use twitter, it’s probably easiest for you to just follow me. At the time I’m posting this I only have a few vector pieces and about 5 sketches.

This is a free set of eight Adobe Illustrator Swatch Patterns. These are seamless vector patterns that can be used to fill objects such as shapes, letters and words. Rather than using a solid color for a typeface, fill it with a swatch pattern. Drag these from the swatches panel to the canvas; change the colors. Drag them back to the swatches panel to create new swatches using different colors.

These are compatible with Illustrator CS and above.

Watch the 30 second video about using the swatches in Illustrator.

This is the official announcement that Designfruit added vinyl stickers to our product offering. We now offer Photoshop brushes, vector art and vinyl graphics.

The etsy store conveniently located at designfruit.etsy.com offers high-quality vinyl decals for placement on walls, windows, laptops and just about anything with a smooth surface. The focus is on wall art for office or home decor, but we take custom orders for any vinyl needs.

Our vinyl has a “6 year outdoor durability” according to the manufacturer description and is “America’s leading high gloss intermediate film.” Currently we offer our wall graphics over 40 different colors, and we’ll try to special order any color that’s not available. We do custom wall words, lettering, quotes, sayings, family names, favorite song names or artists, and anything you can think up. Anyone can apply and remove our vinyl decals. Our decals are clean and easier than painting, and they make great inexpensive gift ideas.

I get a lot of requests for creating tutorials for some basic tasks such as loading and creating Photoshop brushes. I’m going to be creating more of these in the future, so feel free to offer suggestions.

This video tutorial walks you through eight steps to creating and using a Photoshop Brush using artwork from Adobe Illustrator. This tutorial is meant for people that have a basic understanding of Photoshop and Illustrator. I consider this a beginner level tutorial. However, this may be suitable for people who have been using Photoshop for a long period of time and haven’t explored using custom brushes. I walk you through these eight steps in this video tutorial and they are summarized in this article on mediaslap for reference.

Inspired by quilt patterns and circular borders, intricate, retro, ribbon-like vines wrap around complex circle patterns as if they were stitched or sewn. This brush set is light and frilly; combining lacy-filigree with dot patterns, zig-zag lines, geometric shapes and ornate, victorian embellishments. All the original designed circles are single brushes larger than 2400 pixels in diameter. Many of the other brushes are layered circles with strokes, and designed for easy placement in the corner of a composition, photo or other graphic layout. For this reason, the designs are perfect for scrapbooking as they add the perfect final touch to your beautifully-designed pages.

All original artwork for Stitchy Circles is the creation of Jason Gaylor of Designfruit.

Included:

• 32 Total high-resolution Photoshop brushes suitable for print.
• 32 PNG files (if you can’t use the brushes, you can still have access to each design on a transparent background)
