In this tutorial we will take a look at creating one of those small details which can really make a design. Once you have read this tutorial it is my hope that if you ever have to create a “grundgy” looking design you will automatically adopt this technique for areas of it. We are going to take a look specifically at applying rough texture to type but the way in which we do this can also be applied to imagery, logos and anything else that may need to look worn out or distorted. This is a simple technique but one I have found must useful to know about as it gives you another card to play in a creative brief. Also I hope that this tutorial sparks off other ideas and that others can write in and let everyone know about how they create worn out graphics.
