Holographic Texture is a free texture pack for poster grain and overlays for photos.
Photographers and illustrators tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: set textures to Multiply or Overlay blend modes and lower the opacity; full strength rarely looks right.
It’s worth keeping a few good textures in your library for quick jobs where you don’t have time to make one from scratch.
Works well for
- Poster grain
- Overlays for photos
