Photogram Brushes Series 1

Photogram Brush Example

Next up in the litany of free photoshop brushes I’d like to present to you the Photogram Series 1 brush set. For those of you who don’t know what a photogram is check out wikipedia for the answers. I made these photograms in late 2003 early 2004 during my photography class. I have to say that this was by far the best part of the class. Anyway, I made them, they turned out great, and have been sitting at the bottom of my closet ever since. Luckily, I did take the time to scan them in before I forgot about them completely.

I’ve used them here and there as texture elements in various projects, so for now I’m keeping the originals to myself. They might find their way into the gallery on of these days, who knows. Needless to say, these brushes are but small pieces of the originals, I’ve cropped and cleaned them up because of their interesting texture, tone, and random shape. This brush set is rather eclectic, in that some are small nebulous shapes and others are large splatters and scratches. These are all things that come out of a little patience and experimentation in the darkroom.

These brushes are free for either personal or commercial use. However, you may not redistribute them individually or as part of a package. Giving credit is always welcome, so feel free to link back to The Repository if you’d like.

These brushes were created using Photoshop CS1, and should also be compatible with CS3. They range in size from 300px to over 1200px.
