Inspiiired Freebies: 10 HQ Black & White Grunge Textures #2

James — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:15:29 +0000

Another day, another set of awesomely crafted black and white grunge textures. A few days ago we released a set of 10 free grunge textures and today we’ve got 10 more for you. Different amounts of grunge, some light grunge, dark grunge and all of them created by blending and adjusting various textures into their own.

Again, I want to thank Caleb from Lost & Taken for the free textures that were used to blend and form into new textures. He’s got truly amazing textures there and if you haven’t been there yet or seen the 10 websites that release free textures post where we featured Lost & Taken, you’re really missing out.

These textures are free to use for commercial and personal projects with no attribution required. If you do use them for a design and want to get it featured, make sure you join our Flickr group.

Also, don’t forget to check out the first set of Black & White Light Grunge Textures that we released a few days ago.

Another day, another post for your inspiration. If you follow recent trends in web design, responsive web design & single page website designs are at the top of the list so today we’re going to showcase another 30 awesome single page website designs.

I personally love single page website designs and think that there’s a good use for them, especially when you’re trying to market your services (less clicks, less requirements from the potential client and less time spent on your site before they’re given the opportunity to contact you).

Get Inspired by James White of Signalnoise

James — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:51:50 +0000

For those who don’t know James White, let me first say that I feel really sorry for you. This guys work is amazing and inspired (in my opinion) and entirely new style of design that’s being replicated around the world. Drawing from an appreciation for 80′s design and “retro” looks, James has made Signalnoise a household name among the design community.

From his popular blog where he posts up gems like this one where he showcases drawings he’s done over the years to the poster design inspiration and artwork showcases, to his Signalnoise Store, live broadcasts & portfolio of amazing work, you can find a ton of design inspiration.

Thank you James for making such awesome work and allowing us all to watch as you release new designs, constantly outdoing your previous work. You inspire us all!
