If you want to add a corroded look to an element, how would you do it? If you are using a premade texture, it will likely be always the same one, but is corrosion really the same all the time?
This script will randomly assign a texture, and punch holes throughout the design, so it will always give a different result, just like real corrosion.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would create a corroded texture if you didn't have a script (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).
As a sample, I created a simple set of digits that ended up corroded. You can use those digits to add a date of something that is old or something that seems to be bad.

Cracked paint can be used on many drawings, paintings, or writings to give a worn look. You can surely use an overlay, but it is also nice to get a different result.
For a sample, I found some fun summer cards that are now worn out, after the summer. Use them as cards, or posters.
Whether you are creating a project about gardening, golfing or fall, a little patch of grass can be a fun addition, in any shape possible. Why not make a frame? or write a title in a grassy texture?
For a sampler, I created 4 similar frames for you with grass of different lengths, but they all have dandelions!
We might sometimes, want to showcase some photos of messy kids (ours or even ourselves). What better way than have a "dirty" element, complete with a splash of mud on the side?
As a sampler, I created a basic square frame and ran the script. You now have the perfect frame to showcase those "muddy" photos.
How about creating a fun and unique etched element in the shape and color of your choice. This script will allow you to do just that to create alphabets, titles, shapes even frames starting with a simple black and white image.
Using the script, I created a set of 13 arrows from 4 different shapes. Because of the 3D effect applied to the elements, it is not possible (or recommended) to rotate them more than just a little without messing up the light and shadows from the elements themselves. That is why, each shape has been run the script in different orientations. These arrows will be a great way to add focus to an element of your project.
Whether it is for a kid project, a school-related project or just for the fun of it, you can now create scribbled drawings out of any shape or letter, whether you drew it with a brush, a preset shape or the text tool.
As school is either starting or going to start soon, I created a full alphabet using this script. I picked four basic colors for a really bright effect. Remember that if you want those to be considered scribbles, you should not add shadows. However, if you want to pretend the lines are strings or wires, then you can add some. Don't go crazy with the shadows though; you don't want your element to feel like they are floating.
You can now turn any vector shape or text into a sandy texture with some dispersion of the sand. You can choose a real sand color or a totally different color, for a fantasist appearance. You can even try to use a gradient for a fun effect.
For a sample, I ran the script on single digits using the font Blackadder ITC, which is a font where the characters are kind of crooked and uneven, which I felt was a good match with a sand texture. You get all the digits so you can add a year or a date on your project.
Plush is often associated with soft toys from our childhood. Adding a plush texture to various shapes can convey that soft feeling to a project.
To give you a little glimpse of what this script can do, I created three basic elements that you can use as is or combine them with other elements. All three elements are in png format and quite large so you can size them down as needed for your particular project.
Do you like to play with building blocks? Does it bring back memories of your childhood?
As a sample, I created two simple frames made out of blocks.
How would you like a nice juicy burger on your next graphic project page? What if you could have that hamburger in any shape you want, whether it is a square, a star or even a letter?
As a sampler, I created some fun digits that you can use to date your next barbecue pictures.
