About 100 Torn Cardboard 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.
A texture collection made out of cardboard can be a lot more surprising than you imagine. Especially when our skillful designers have something to do with it. Even if it means having scattered piles of cardboard pieces littering the place as we speak! See, we kinda needed those to craft this whole thing from scratch, and that’s how deep we were willing to take it for achieving ultimate resolution. Now, look where it got us. We have the most precious set of isolated torn cardboard textures to share with you and also the largest ever created. Exactly 100 transparent pieces! How awesome is that? The fact that we did it all by hand only makes it a lot more peerless, thus harder to price. So we didn’t even try! Not that the idea didn’t cross our minds. After all, anywhere you look, there are less impressive collections put up for sale. But here, you can have something far better chargeless.
