Texture Gallery: Paper

These photos have been created by Smashing Magazine readers in our Smashing Texture Contest. What can you do with them? You can use all textures for both private and commercial projects for free, without any restrictions whatsoever. However, you are not allowed to offer these files for download; please respect the interests of over 300 participants of our contest. Please also consider the license information attached to the .zip-archives you download from our server. When it comes to usage of textures, different photographers may have different opinions and intentions.

Some .zip-archives also contain further images of the same photographer. The file size of .zip-archives is between 1 and 15 Mb (depending on image resolution) which makes over 700 Mb space storage. This is also a reason why we have decided to not offer all textures in one single archive. It is very likely that due to huge amount of data and manual work some links contain errors — please inform us about them. And sorry for inconvenience.

Part of Racket’s process is to continually collect objects and detritus from this nation’s op-shops & tip shops. We find the nature and texture of discarded objects continually inspiring. The paper in this shot comes from an abandoned paper factory in Newcastle Australia, the scene of an impromptu art installation & exhibition.

This is from a vacant store front window on Southport avenue in Chicago. Moisture got in between the paper and the glass causing the brown surface of the paper to run.

Most of the textures were pictures that I took at an art supply store. The handmade paper’s patterns were a great touch that I wanted to integrate into my designs. I also took pictures of quinceñera dresses that had some amazing detail & rouching that would serve as a great detail in a background.

the texture is a well-used piece of Saral, which is sort of like carbon paper.
