    I would probably use the metal and rust textures the most. They tend to really spice up my designs when I use them on typography or other graphics.

  2. Morgan   -   October 15, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    mmmm… concrete and stone!

  3. Rajesh Pancholi   -   October 15, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    Which one you ask… I “wood” if I could : )

  4. Devlin   -   October 15, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    Great contest, I like the clouds texture pack. Getting decent pictures of clouds is pretty difficult.

  5. Linda   -   October 15, 2008 at 5:41 pm

    I just ran across your site a few days ago because of Twitter! Glad I found your site.. it’s great!
    Thanks

  6. Tadd Mencer   -   October 15, 2008 at 5:41 pm

    Clouds – hands down – are the ones I would use the most. I try and have as many cloud textures as possible. They’re so versatile you can do just about anything with them. Space nebula, explosions, grungy back grounds … with the right tweaking they’re perfect for anything.

    I’m working on a large graphic project and man .. these packs would DEFINITELY come in handy.

    Here’s some fingers crossed!!

  7. Franz Jeitz   -   October 15, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    I’ll certainly be using the Metal&Rust Texture Pack the most. I just love some good grunge textures to spice up my work.

  8. gfxchick   -   October 15, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    It was really difficult to choose but I think I would use “Wood” the most. thanks!

  9. BryanZ   -   October 15, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    I would love to have . . .

    METAL . . METAL and RUST (to the tune of Diamonds & Rust for those of us old enough to know the song).

    Bryan Z

  10. Andrew   -   October 15, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    definitly wood. I’m always on the lookout for a fresh set of grains, yo.

  11. Joseph Sites   -   October 15, 2008 at 6:55 pm

    I’d probably use the Metal/Rust texture pack the most, but I’m not seeing actual samples of the texture images on the site… so we’ll have to wait and see.

  12. Ryan Brunsvold   -   October 15, 2008 at 7:33 pm

    Great contest, thanks. I believe I would probably use the “Concrete and Stone” pack the most.

  13. Albie   -   October 15, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    Pavement

  14. Michelle Hayes   -   October 15, 2008 at 7:46 pm

    I definitely think the metal and rust textures will be used the most! It was a hard decision!

  15. brisbane printers   -   October 15, 2008 at 7:50 pm

    Hi and thanks very much for the contest.

    It’s a bit of a hard choice, but I think I would get the most use out of the ‘Metal & Rust’ texture range.

    Thanks again :)

  16. Peggy   -   October 15, 2008 at 8:36 pm

    I would probably use the metal and rust the most then probably the next most used would have to be the wood.

  17. Steve   -   October 15, 2008 at 8:50 pm

    I would use the metal and rust pack the most. I am working on a new layout called heavy metal so this would be perfect.

  18. Cosmo Kramer   -   October 15, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    I would use the wood textures a lot, you can never have to much wood. But the rest of them look great to.

  19. Eduardo Lares   -   October 15, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    Shoot I will use them all or any. I love creating abstract images for my custmers on their business cards and media so i would be extremly grat full for any of the packs. Thanks!

  20. Brent   -   October 15, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    While I think the metal and rust would be extremely interesting I would probably end up using concerete and stone or wood the most due to the fact that most of the design I’m currently working on has a very earthy feel to it.

  21. Cthulhu Saves   -   October 15, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    These textures look great. The metal and rust offerings would be what I’d use most.

  22. Trent   -   October 15, 2008 at 10:37 pm

    Definitely the wood textures…

  23. NaldzGraphics   -   October 15, 2008 at 11:02 pm

    il go for metal!!:)

  24. Misa   -   October 15, 2008 at 11:36 pm

    They’re all great, but I think I’d use the wood the most.

  25. Allen Bivins   -   October 15, 2008 at 11:37 pm

    I like the WOOD pack

  26. Steve Scott   -   October 15, 2008 at 11:47 pm

    Concrete and Stone

  27. Vicky Boackle   -   October 16, 2008 at 12:01 am

    wood.

  28. Sandy   -   October 16, 2008 at 1:05 am

    clouds or wood

  29. David   -   October 16, 2008 at 1:34 am

    I had an extremely hard time choosing between these textures. I could probably use each of them in different and interesting ways. Yet if I were to choose only one would want the wood texture pack.

  30. Redbyte   -   October 16, 2008 at 2:18 am

    Definitely ‘Metal & Rust’ for me.

    BTW this is a really cool competition :)

  31. Anonymous   -   October 16, 2008 at 3:08 am

    concrete and stone definitely!

  32. Christian Castañeda   -   October 16, 2008 at 3:09 am

    concrete and stone definitely!

  33. Jed   -   October 16, 2008 at 4:01 am

    Wood

  34. Ant   -   October 16, 2008 at 4:06 am

    I do a lot of underground design so definitely the Metal and Rust would go down well

  35. Grzegorz Biziel   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:37 am

    Probably concrete and stone would be the most used, but I think all of them are great!

  36. fREn   -   October 16, 2008 at 9:58 am

    I would use the pavement textures, and also metal and rust ;D.

  37. Ed   -   October 16, 2008 at 10:17 am

    I think the bricks are for me. Need to close that “whole in the wall”. :=)

  38. Kathy Scott   -   October 16, 2008 at 10:45 am

    Concrete and stone.

  39. Jussi   -   October 16, 2008 at 11:50 am

    I dig bricks, so propably those.

  40. Sean Bahr   -   October 16, 2008 at 12:00 pm

    Hi! I would probably use the wood textures the most because a lot of my clients are resorters who like the woodsy/rustic look. Thanks!

  41. Katie   -   October 16, 2008 at 12:09 pm

    I think I would use the Concrete & Stone textures most often, they would be such excellent resources for grunging up a background or any other type of graphic. I’ve got a real soft spot in my heart for grunge. ^_^

    ~Katie

  42. maxwell ariss   -   October 16, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    I think I would definitely use the metal/rust pack the most, only because Im a sucker for grunge designs.

    Dont get me wrong though, I would make use of all the texture packs ;)

  43. Matthew   -   October 16, 2008 at 12:34 pm

    I think I’d use rust the most because I don’t have many rust textures currently.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  44. Pamela   -   October 16, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    I would probably use Metal and Rust the most, but they are all great. I’ve never met a texture I didn’t love.

  45. Sarah Balderas   -   October 16, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    I definitely love textures, so I can foresee using the metal and rust textures the most.

  46. Jonathan   -   October 16, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    I’ll use the Metal and Rust textures the most, probably because I’m sort of addicted to them.

  47. Josh Bader   -   October 16, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    I LOVE WOOD!!!

  48. greg anderson   -   October 16, 2008 at 2:18 pm

    i would use the wood templates mostly.

  49. Anonymous   -   October 16, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    since I am a sucker for wood-textures in all its variaties, Id go with the wood pack.

  50. Calle Höjer   -   October 16, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    Since I am a sucker for wood textures in all its variaties, Id go with the wood-pack

  51. K-IntheHouse   -   October 16, 2008 at 4:11 pm

    I love the clouds texture and would be great to use it in my upcoming projects. Thanks for a cool giveaway! :-)

  52. Dainis Graveris   -   October 16, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    Already saw these ones and yeah, really appreciate sharing! :))

  53. Kristine S   -   October 16, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    I like metal and rust ones the most and they wold be nice to use in grunge designs :)

  54. saul   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    I like textures cuz they make 2d more tasty and deep and i woul use the metal rust textures to grunge my design

  55. Robert   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    I think clouds would definitely get the most usage. So many different uses for them. Granted that goes for most textures, but clouds especially!

  56. Paula   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    i want to use them all

  57. Jami   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    awesome contest….i would probably use concrete or wood the most….looking forward to hearing who wins!

  58. Monique Rizzo   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:34 pm

    Love the Wood Textures! Very cool.

  59. John Mindiola III   -   October 16, 2008 at 5:35 pm

    Metal and rust for sure. I live in a big metro area!

  60. jmaturo   -   October 16, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    good “wood”

  61. Marc Hughes   -   October 16, 2008 at 6:58 pm

    The metal and rust for sure.The concrete ones could be a lot of fun too though.

  62. Daniel   -   October 16, 2008 at 7:31 pm

    I think the Metal & Rust one would definitely be the most used and most practical of all of them.

  63. Carah Kristel   -   October 16, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    I would use the metal and rust one the most. Grunge is so popular right now.

  64. Mike   -   October 16, 2008 at 9:02 pm

    Textures are the basis of 99 % of my work and i would love to have a free pack from colorburned. thanks guys!!

  65. Mark   -   October 16, 2008 at 9:03 pm

    Concrete and Stone for me, hard to find really good quality textures like these.

  66. Andrew   -   October 17, 2008 at 1:24 am

    Heck, I’m sure I’d use them all…

    But probably wood.

    Yeah.

  67. Ariel Jakobovits   -   October 17, 2008 at 2:58 am

    I would use the wood textures.

  68. David   -   October 17, 2008 at 4:02 am

    I’d you rust the most as it’ll go with the rust that I can see on my old PC!!

  69. Frank Pellon   -   October 17, 2008 at 5:16 am

    Would definitely use the pavement pack ALOT, working on multiple layouts that involve carsd and construction and the pavement would help me out big time

  70. Els Dens   -   October 17, 2008 at 8:58 am

    Great textures!
    I like the stone texture pack the most.

  71. Kenneth Ballenegger   -   October 17, 2008 at 10:44 am

    Either Concrete, or Metal & Rust.

  72. marcushiro   -   October 17, 2008 at 10:46 am

    anything that is organic. wood textures would be nice. cheers!

  73. firebubble - Logo Design UK   -   October 17, 2008 at 11:07 am

    I really like the wood, clouds and pavement packs but I think if I had to pick one I would have to go with the wood texture pack as I can think of lots of ways I could incorporate these textures within graphic design projects. Thank you for the post, love these freebies!

  74. Alex   -   October 17, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    I would probably use the concrete and stone textures the most. I love incorporating grunge textures into my designs and they really give the design something extra. It would be a huge aid in my designs as a college student as it is often difficult to find good textures online, and time constraints make it difficult to find my own textures in the real world.

  75. Sean   -   October 17, 2008 at 2:28 pm

    Wow these look great, would love to win these! thanks!

  76. Amy Stewart   -   October 17, 2008 at 2:51 pm

    Excellent textures. I think I would most likely use Wood the most.

  77. Santaigo Madrid   -   October 17, 2008 at 3:24 pm

    Hi and thanks very much for the contest.

    Difficult all textures are amazing, but I think I would get the most use out of the ‘Metal & Rust’ texture range.Secondly clouds

    Thanks again

  78. Nikki   -   October 17, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    Brick.

  79. Juan Pedro Gonzalez   -   October 17, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    I would have to say ´Wood´, for sure.
    Thanks!

  80. Jason Esquenazi   -   October 17, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    I believe this is a trick question, if I won received 300 free textures, there is no way you will hold me down to just one. I’d use them all!!!! muahhhhahahhhhhahahahahaaaa (evil laugh)

  81. Cameron   -   October 17, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    Definately the clouds pack. I am constantly vectoring clouds.

  82. Anonymous   -   October 17, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    metal & rust would fit the work i have been doing latley!

  83. Cyndi Masters   -   October 17, 2008 at 10:46 pm

    I follow you on Twitter and I think I would use the wood textures the most!

  84. Timothy Sternberg   -   October 18, 2008 at 12:26 am

    I would probably use the metal and rust textures the most.

  85. Maxim Barkhatov   -   October 18, 2008 at 2:33 am

    Wood

  86. RICKs   -   October 18, 2008 at 4:35 am

    Metal and Rust i love the look of my wallpapers with a unsaturated texture and a overlay.

  87. alex   -   October 18, 2008 at 5:12 am

    I like wood!

  88. Elizabeth Williams   -   October 18, 2008 at 11:16 am

    I’d probably end up using Metal & Rust the most! These textures are awesome. Makes me miss Mayang ):

  89. Tonya Froemel   -   October 18, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    Metal & Rust i think is the one id use the most

  90. yannik   -   October 18, 2008 at 2:40 pm

    clouds definetly

  91. Leah   -   October 18, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    First off, I would totally use them ALL! But, forced to chose one, I would go with metal and rust.

  92. zohar avgar   -   October 18, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    I would use the pavement textures

  93. SE7EN   -   October 18, 2008 at 8:07 pm

    I’ll choose “Wood”

  94. Jana Knepper   -   October 18, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    I believe that I would be able to use the “Pavement” texture pack in all of my designs regardless of the style of assignment. It has a good variety of tones(contrasts), depths, line work and over all textures.

    Thank you for the opportunity and good luck to everyone! =D

  95. kindle   -   October 19, 2008 at 1:11 am

    concrete and stone, most definitely.

  96. RAQUEL   -   October 19, 2008 at 2:31 am

    wind and water

  97. susan varney   -   October 19, 2008 at 10:52 am

    i would love the metal and rust

  98. Deborah Stinson   -   October 19, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    Concrete and Stone. Or Metal and Rust! Can’t say as I would probably use them all!

  99. Walie   -   October 19, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    I work do mostly architectural work, so i would use the metal textures

  100. Matthew Haltom   -   October 19, 2008 at 10:36 pm

    I would definitely use them all because they are a great resource, but I would probably use the clouds and/or wood textures in many of my designs.

  101. Dermot Holmes   -   October 19, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    Metal & Rust, nothing like a bit O grime!

  102. Allan Levitt   -   October 20, 2008 at 8:01 am

    Chances are I’d go for Metal & Rust. Though the Concrete & Stone one is very, very good too.

    Nice packs all-round.

  103. david basile   -   October 20, 2008 at 9:56 am

    Metal & Rust

  104. Alassea   -   October 20, 2008 at 10:15 am

    I’d pick the Metal&Rust Texture Pack :)

  105. Kelly   -   October 20, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    wow, all fantastic! I would say the Metal and Rust textures would come in the most, but I could certainly use the whole family!!!

  106. DeeAnn S   -   October 20, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    I think I would get more use out of the metal and rust set.

  107. Laura   -   October 20, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    I would use metal&rust the most…but they’re all great!

  108. jffryclough   -   October 20, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    i’m all about wood, so wood is good, understood? you should…

  109. Doug   -   October 20, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    Roses are red, but violets are blue. If I had cloud textures, fun designs would I do!

  110. djp   -   October 20, 2008 at 10:16 pm

    love something new

  111. Kristin   -   October 20, 2008 at 11:12 pm

    For me the wood textures would be great.

  112. Rudella Custer   -   October 20, 2008 at 11:37 pm

    Absolutely metal and rust! Awesome textures in all 6 though.

  113. Rosanne Morrison   -   October 21, 2008 at 11:59 pm

    like the clouds

  114. claudette flanigan   -   October 22, 2008 at 10:33 am

    I love them all…but I have ideas for the “WOOD”

  115. Kristine Chan   -   October 22, 2008 at 11:21 am

    Wood would be great for websites!

  116. Anthony Hedden   -   October 22, 2008 at 3:23 pm

    metal and rust

  117. Joanna Smith   -   October 22, 2008 at 9:11 pm

    It’s between Concrete & Stone and Metal and Rust. I do a lot of digital artwork and I can see myself using either one of these on a regular basis. It really depends on what type of project I am working on and what I want to express at that time. These are awesome tools!

  118. Adrian Lamont   -   October 22, 2008 at 9:36 pm

    I would use the brick textures the most.

  119. Marcia S   -   October 23, 2008 at 3:18 am

    I love the color and organic vs machined textures of metal and rust. What a cool giveaway!

  120. Melissa Hong   -   October 23, 2008 at 6:14 am

    It’s a toss up for me between “metal and rust” and “concrete and stone”! Ultimately, I’d have to pick the stone though. Looks great.

  121. walter   -   October 23, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    I would probably use the metal the most. ty!

  122. Jonathan Cutrell   -   October 24, 2008 at 4:44 am

    I’d have to say in order: metal and rust, concrete and stone, pavement, wood, clouds, then brick. But I would use every single one eventually.

  123. Kyle   -   October 24, 2008 at 10:51 am

    The stone textures are amazing! Thanks for the opportunity :)

  124. kathy pease   -   October 24, 2008 at 11:49 am

    id use the concrete and stone the most :)

  125. Tammy   -   October 24, 2008 at 1:12 pm

    I love the pavement one, I’d use that quite a bit I think!

  126. jjean   -   October 24, 2008 at 1:16 pm

    Clouds, I use them all the time

  127. Gianna   -   October 24, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    I love the clouds texture pack :)

  128. melissa   -   October 24, 2008 at 10:17 pm

    i like concrete and stone quite a bit!

  129. Donna K   -   October 24, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    I would like the clouds

  130. Carole   -   October 24, 2008 at 10:52 pm

    I’m just partial to clouds so that would be my first choice.

  131. Heather C   -   October 25, 2008 at 1:39 am

    Not sure if my post went through, so trying again. I choose clouds.

  132. haize.rava   -   October 26, 2008 at 2:04 am

    Rust and Metal

  133. Sharon   -   October 26, 2008 at 3:25 am

    I would use them all, but metal and rust the most.

  134. Tadd   -   October 28, 2008 at 11:56 am

    Any idea when this drawing occurs?

  135. ivonne adel- bureos   -   January 6, 2009 at 4:14 pm

    i would use them all. in the urban environment there is everything and everything should be used….noone is left behind
