As a designer, it’s not always possible to take the time and generate your own textures for all of your graphics. Thankfully, there are tons of convenient stock textures that others have freely contributed to the design community! We’ve gathered 99 of our favorites in this gigantic list!

@ D.A.T. - Thank you for providing such wonderful textures to the design community!
I’m always looking for textures (free ones) and you’ve created an invaluable resource. Thanks David!
Thank you very much.
I like that. I’m always looking for useful textures and I wondered about the site “http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml”.
There are some nice graphics. I wanted to Sign Up, but I find it bad that I have to give them my personal informations.
So I haven’t signed up now.
Greetings,
LBrother
Great list David.
Sxc.hu, or Stock Exchange doesnt do anything bad with your personal info. If you dont want to give them your email, use http://www.guerrillamail.com/. Once youve signed up theres tons of great images.
Some paper textures are amazing…
this is awesome!
thanks so much!
you’re a champ
This is why I like Tutorial9 so much, I get to learn about practical tips and effects, or in this case, resources that I could actually use; not just some obscure effect that’s rarely useful (sadly, there’s a lot of those on the net).
Props to Tutorial9 and all it’s tutorial authors!
Thanks CJ.H for your answer. I don’t care about the e-mail adress, but about personal information like phone number, street adress,…
Greetings,
LBro
