This collection of 40 vector background textures is great for adding depth to a project.

They work particularly well when layered above photographs to create a distressed grunge or vintage effects, as backgrounds or as part of montage style illustrations.

Larger previews of each texture can be viewed on my Behance site:

They have all been individually created and include a variety of surface textures, halftones, photocopies, facsimiles, vintage ephemera and analog outputs.

Because they are vector artwork they are resolution independent so you can scale them to any size required. This makes them much more flexible than bitmap and pixel textures that have a limited maximum resolution.

Every element is fully editable to suit your project. Change the colours, delete elements, combine elements and textures together for unique effects.

The complete collection is supplied as 40 individual Illustrator 8.0 eps files so that they are compatible with all vector and bitmap applications.

Full editing of the source files requires a vector application such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW or Inkscape. You can also open each texture with a transparent background at any resolution required (rasterizing) in an image application such as Adobe Photoshop.

Please note, the fonts and and photographs shown in the preview examples are not included in the collection and are for visual demonstration purposes.
