Killer Design Looks Using Textures

One of my favorite things to do when I’m designing a flyer for adventure-related content, sports, music events, or whatever, is to use textures.


These textures could be anything from dirt, grunge, grain, paper cuts, noise, dust, gritty-grainy, concrete, gravel, or film textures.


They give the design a completely different look.


For example, take the project I worked on yesterday:


Here is a render without the texture:


Using Textures Glorify Design


To my eye, the design looks naked.


Now, look at the design with the texture. Actually, two textures stacked on top of each other.


Flyer Design In Glorify


Totally different.


Now it looks more like a movie poster...


Well, it could be one if I added a few key elements.


Whatever...


What I’m suggesting here is that you use textures to add more character to your overall design.
