Every designer should have a folder full of ‘tools’ to design. Just having Photoshop and knowing how to use it is not enough. You should have folders full of fonts, vectors, and brushes.
When used with the right effects, think lightening, gradient, etc., photoshop brushes are a very
easy way to enhance your design. If you are not a ‘rock star’ designer Photoshop attributes like brushes and vectors can help you come a long way with your design.
Brushes like watercolors and splatters give a lot of freedom in your design. See wonderful websites done with watercolor effects. How you implement brushes in your design can make or break the design.
I selected 20 different brushes ranging from watercolors to splatters, ornaments, grunge, bokeh to hand drawn. Hopefully these will get you inspired and help you to create wonderful designs.
