Today we have another great freebie addition for our Designer Toolkit area.

The Toolkit is an area where we’ve compiled an ever growing collection of freebies to reward our loyal subscribers and readers. It’s one of the largest freebie areas in the design community and is packed with premium-quality items such as vectors, brushes, high-res textures and much more!

Today’s freebie is for all your print designers out there. Often times clients want a complete package for their designs, ranging from business cards to brochures, folders and letterheads. Mocking up your designs really lets your clients get a feel for how the finished product will look. Mockup templates are an incredibly quick and easy way to create professional mockups in minutes. Using smart objects in Photoshop, you can literally drag and drop in your design, and it will be fitted to the relevant mockup design, taking on the various lighting, perspective and shadows of that piece.

Today’s free templates include a variety of folder variations, including rounded/sharp inlays, and various perspectives/angles. They’re kindly provided by Company Folders

These templates are free to use on any personal and commercial projects. Redistribution is not allowed, but you can direct users to this page to download their own copy.

Following my recent tutorial ‘Integrating 3d Elements Into Your Designs’ I thought that I’d let you guys see what you can come up with. Our regular commenter Beets of VelvetMoth has very kindly donated 4 awesome 3d graphics for you to use in your designs.

Remember, your designs are only ever limited by your own creativity, so have a go and see what you can come up with. Feel free to post your designs in the comments to this post – just until I get the PSDFAN Flickr group up and running (it’s coming, I promise).

PSDFAN is giving away it’s second freebie for all the loyal visitors here. This time I have designed a great grunge essentials pack for you guys to use in your designs. The idea is that the same images seem to crop up in grungy designs, but often it can be hard to find good quality images to use. All of the following images have been hand drawn by myself to help save you some time, and all are free to download. Best of all, each image is on it’s own layer in the .psd, so you can literally copy and paste it onto whatever background you need.

I would love to see how anyone uses these freebies, and as always I’d really appreciate any social bookmarking efforts!

What’s in the grunge essentials pack?

The following images are available for free download in the grunge essentials pack:

Post it Note

Paper Clip

Sticky Tape

Coffee Stain

Label

Here are the elements combined

Just to show how easy it is to put this grunge pack into use, the following image took me less than 60 seconds to make, I just pasted the images together and applied a couple of drop shadows:

Sunbursts are a really popular element in modern design, so it always amazes me how hard it is to find a suitable and free sunburst image to use in your designs. Not only is it hard to find a sunburst image, but when you do there is usually something wrong with it. Either there are too many ‘rays’, or too few, the image is too small, there isn’t a .psd file offered so any effects/filters you apply to the image will also effect the background, and so on…. All of this means more work for YOU, the designer.

That’s why I’ve come up with a simple set of sunburst images to help you (and me!), save some time browsing stock image sites. This set is not only offered free, but at HIGH RES (all images are over 1000px X 1000px in dimension), with a varied number of rays (you will see below the set includes an image with 10 rays, 20 rays and 40 rays). Best of all the images are available for download from their original .psd files, so you can forget about that annoying background and copy/paste your sunbursts into whatever document you like in a matter of seconds!

40 Ray Sunburst:

It’s as Easy as ‘Gradient Overlay’!

Seeing as the sunbursts in these .psd files are separate from their backgrounds it’s as easy as applying a filter or gradient overlay to achieve some really nice effects!
