About 100 Crumpled Paper Textures
Design work moves fast. When you find a solid textures resource, it can shave hours off a deadline. It’s made for Adobe Photoshop, and the previews show what you can expect.
Usually, no one cares about crumpled pieces of paper. They think they’re good for nothing and that’s why they’re wrinkled like that. But can you blame them? You don’t just crumple any paper unless you actually want to throw it out. However, when you look at things with the sick mind of a graphic designer, nothing is that simple anymore. You may be looking at a piece of paper that’s no longer usable but what we see is a creative white background for our graphic designs! So this is what happened next. We made some 100 crushed paper – didn’t know crumpling some pieces of paper could be so enjoyable – then we scanned them with our high-tech system, every crease and wrinkle was captured because we wanted it to be 100% realistic and we made sure of that. You should know when we put our mind into something, we let nothing get in our way… Just make sure you don’t confuse this collection with another one of our exclusive products with free paper textures. Unlike that one, this new selection is only focused on aesthetic crumpled pieces of paper in texture format, in case you want to add depth and a 3D style to your artwork. Don’t even get us started on the 8K quality. Like how often does that happen anyway? You’re probably gonna admire the high resolution even more when you discover the free commercial license attached to the download file. That’s ofc only a surprise if this is the first time you’re downloading something from our exclusive library, or else you’d know already everything here is top-tier and yet free of charge. Just so you know, this is not even the entire spectrum of our paper texture arsenal on RB. Have you seen our free torn paper textures too for example? You’re gonna love those if you don’t mind taking thing up a notch.
