Guys,
Most of you already know how indispensable Photoshop brushes are when it comes to web and graphic design.
Examples of their use are everywhere. In this post I will show you how I used them to modify the original WordPress theme of this site and create something completely different.
Of course, for all modifications I used my own PREMIUM Photoshop brushes that are also available for sale in my little Photoshop brushes shop.
Don’t worry, commercial license is included with all brushes so you can use them in your commercial projects.
Background
First I changed the background and here is what Photoshop brushes did I use and where:

Banners
And here is how I used them to create banners:
So, to create banners I used:
As you can see, Photoshop brushes come really handy when you need to do web graphics.
I’d say, really really handy.
Of course, if you are into web or graphic design, or if you are planning to get into it, or just staring up, I would recommend one all-round, HUGE Photoshop brushes package and yes, that’s 800+ MEGA SET Photoshop Brushes I’m talking about!

Gang!
This time I thought I’d show you some of the examples of usage of Photoshop brushes in photography. And what better example I can give other then the ones I made myself (but of course :))
So, here is some stuff I created with a little help from Photoshop brushes and you will notice how they can add on that “final touch” to the photo images very nicely. This brush touch-up is sometimes the perfect finish that I’m looking for when creating not just digital but also tangible works like photos that I apply on the wood, hand-made notebooks and scrap-books, bookmarks etc…
So, for instance, in this example, I used Photoshop brush to touch-up on one of my photos that I printed out on canvas and applied to the piece of wood that I previously carved, burnt and painted (also drilled some holes, added a piece of rope and a red seal with my emblem).
So, I added this Photoshop brush Floral Swirl, which is on sale now in my little shop: 101 Swirls Brushes – Special Edition package (101 brushes set)
I placed it to the bottom left corner just to add on some touch of natural and rustic feel to the image. And I think it fits there just perfectly.
OK Gang, that’s it for now. I have a bunch of other real life, hard on, brick and mortar, wood and paper examples of Photoshop brushes usage, so stay tuned :)
Love,
Silvia
P.S.
By the way, how do you like my little hand crafted piece of art? Believe me, it takes a while to complete something like this when you do it from scratch (like I did). But, it’s worth it. These are sellin’ quite fine and I’m happy for that :) I still don’t know how to call it. It is a photo I made printed out on canvas and applied to a piece of wood that I previously carved, burnt, painted and drilled … added a seal and stuff … :)
P.P.S.
Of course, we all know how much Photoshop brushes can add-up to productivity, speed-up the process of graphic creation and make designers life easier. So, check out my latest offer 24 HiRes brushes for 1/2 the price.

So finally, after a long time, they’re out to the light of the day:
Swirls II - The Resurrection Set!
(Do I sound like an Alien movie fan? :) I’m not!)
For last two years (or so) swirls are unchallenged on their throne of the modern graphic design elements. Swirls are used extensively in web and print banners, blog graphics, magazine front pages, scrapbooks, webs, posters, marketing campaigns, advertisements even at NYSE green Guinness background (just noticed that on CNN :) … can’t miss them.
And what I like about them is that in every illustration they can be used differently. Each graphic designer can find their own unique way to use them in their graphic design project.
And that is what I like about them. This brand new set contains, again, different kind of swirls, the ones that will bring out that special unique touch to your work. I designed them to help you make great graphics and, due to the sole nature of the brushes, they will empower you to make your graphics fast!
So, get up on the fast track - download Photoshop 7.0 Swirls brushes, make a few strokes with them (in your Photoshop 7.o or later or Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, or even Gimp) grasp their potential and make great graphics – now! (check out my graphics for some inspiration: Black and white background or Retro grunge background illustration or Brown and yellow illustration background)
Swirls II Photoshop Brushes LITE edition (6 brushes free download – GBG membership needed)
Swirls II Photoshop Brushes PREMIUM edition - $9.99 (full version, 36 brushes set)
Have fun creating!

Well, here in Croatia today was a last day for a tax reports. I thought again, when juggling with a papers today: why we are still using so much papers for something that is anyway, stored as a digital data?
Not to mention that, like always, all that bureaucracy made me mad; felt helpless, hopeless and defenseless. While waiting in the queue, I heard one guy talking to the office lady about his new born child. He was happy to announce that he has become a father for the first time, all proud and happy. Office lady talked to him about social security numbers, reports and all in all… that moment I felt like a slave. Real slave with an invisible number stamped on me right after my birth.
My government wants to keep me blissfully ignorant, half healthy half cozy. They want me quiet, servile and on the short and strong leash.
It wasn’t one of my happy days, nor mediocre (I don’t want to say bad or ugly!). But I managed somehow because it’s Fridayyyy!!!! So, for today I have grunge styled letters and numbers in a form of Photoshop 7 brushes set. Divided, as usually, in two editions:
- Lite edition grunge numbers Photoshop brushes numbers set (please, join GBG for free download) – numbers only (set of 10)
Grunge alphabet and numbers with swirls, Photoshop brushes set

- PC/Mac Compatible
- compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 (and newer versions)
- compatible with Photoshop Elements 3.0 and all newer versions
It will help you with:
- scrap books, quick pages

- backgrounds
- computer desktop wallpapers
- photo album decorations
- let your imagination go wild from here…
