One of the biggest problem designers and graphic artists have is in finding content that can be used commercially. It often seems that even content you pay for you have to jump through hoops to read the fine print to determine what exactly you can do with it and it often has overly restrictive limits.
Today I found a great site. Great because of a number of things:
1. The content is free.
2. The textures are gorgeous and varied and hi-res.
3. You are free to use them for commercial purposes.
4. Attribution is appreciated but not required.
Verbatim, here is the terms of use: “Lost & Taken textures are made freely available for use in both personal and commercial projects including web templates, designs, and other materials intended for distribution. Attribution is appreciated, but not required.”
The textures fall into a number of categories including: Vintage damask, torn paper, skin, bubbles, wallpaper, book covers, subtle grunge and lots more. Check out the vintage wallpaper ones on the home page they are so totally cool.
