A totally rad pack of 7(!!) Victorian damask background textures. Web-ready, no prep at all!
By Ars Grafik
For today’s design freebie, we’re giving away a pack of seven(!!) Victorian damask background textures. These textures are web-ready with faded gradient edges on each so you don’t have to do anything to prep them; simply change your site’s background color to the color referenced above each image so it continues to fade to that specific color for larger screen sizes. The images are 1400 x 1400 pixels, giving you a lot of space to work with. I’ve cut a width-wide slice of each so you can get a preview of the background textures (they’ve also been reduced in size from 1400 px to 685 px). The set includes a Victorian grunge texture, as well as others in shades of yellow, black, silver, pink, violet, and white.
Please note that the file is rather large at 12+ MB, so help us pay for our bandwidth by linking/tweeting/digging, etc. At Ars Grafik, all our content is free for personal and commercial use.

Really enjoyed your site. Took a look at the donation page…can’t do anythng right now as I have no credit cards. Would like to take advantage of some of your down loads but don’t think this computer can support them…really old. What does this machine need in order to download? I am a handicap person and will be trying to some sort of business with the computer. Fat chance I’ll be ready tomorrow!!!! I’m going to try to get to your facebook page. See ya. Marie

Forgot to tell you what I have in mind. I make cards that I sell at craft sales. With the young people in my area that have done drawings for me, I use their pictures and on the back of the card I talk about the artist. The drawings the kids have made I pay for on a commission basis…so much every time a card is sold. This is the way I was hoping to donate to you. Would you see this as being appropriate? Marie

If you’d like to donate, feel free, but all our content is available for personal and commercial use, no attribution required. Of course, free press is always a good thing! You’ll want to use Photoshop, Corel, or Illustrator to have access to these files. GIMP and Inkscape are open source (read: free) versions of PS and AI, and they may be useful for these design freebies as well, although I’m not 100% sure on that.
