Over the last month I've added over 300 free high resolution beach related textures to the website. Fortunately, I still have considerably more textures to post but in the meantime I wanted to round them all up and put them into one place so you guys could download them all easily.
Today, I am releasing Parts 3 and 4 of the Waves set. Parts 3 and 4 include 73 high resolution textures of waves in various states. I like these sets a lot because they show so much water movement, lots of bubbles and light reflection. They are great images to use for any kind of graphic where you need moving water flowing over sand or some kind of rock.
I mentioned in an earlier post how I had been busy taking photos while on my recent trip to New York City. You can view them after the jump.
I just arrived back home from my two week excursion to New York City. New York was great! I really love that town. There's so much to do there. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck finding a job there but I had a great time and I'm going to stay positive and keep looking. Something will pop up eventually.
Since I'm a little behind on things I wanted to post a couple texture sets for you guys to save a little time. So today I am releasing Parts 1 and 2 of the Waves set. Waves is a nice set of textures. Parts 1 and 2 include 70 high resolution textures of waves in various states. I like these sets a lot because they show so much water movement, lots of bubbles and light reflection. They are great images to use for any kind of graphic where you need moving water flowing over sand or some kind of rock.
Vectortuts.com just published a tutorial that I wrote based on the vector iPhone design that I published last week. Vectortuts.com is a new website devoted to vector graphics tutorials and resources. There are so few websites out there dedicated to vector graphics and I am very excited to be a part of it. Check out my tutorial, I hope you learn something.
This week I am releasing my Rocks and Pebbles Texture Pack. This is by far one of the smallest packs that I am releasing. I thought about saving the smaller packs for last but I decided that I'd rather end with a bang than a splat. This set contains 5 images of rocks and pebbles. Some of these rocks are dry and some of them are beneath a few inches of still water. This gives some of the images a rippled effect which I think is kind of cool.
Today I am finally releasing Part 4 of my four part set of wet sand textures. Part 4 is probably my favorite set. Not only is Part 4 the biggest set with 34 images, it is also the most varied of all the ones I've released so far. In this set you can find lots of foam, rocks and even a little muddy sand.
A while back Abduzeedo posted a tutorial on how to create an iPhone in Adobe Fireworks. I like Fireworks a lot but I rarely work with it unless I am mocking up a website design. I mostly work in Illustrator so it's a lot easier if I have an Illustrator file to work with. Since I'm in New York this week and next and I have a lot of time on my hands, I decided to go ahead and design an iPhone in Illustrator.
