This style in all its manifestations has become increasingly popular amongst the hipster subculture. But it is even more widely used in graphic and website design, where adding a "soul" to a project is one of the surest ways to put it out of the crowd.
I am talking about vintage – a common term for a group of design trends originated in the XIX and XX centuries. It is characterized by the heavy use of natural elements such as rough paper, cloth, and wood; expressive typography, and an artificially aged look.
If you prefer to say that your works are "crafted" and "tailored" rather than just "designed", this list of 200+ handpicked free vintage resources is for you. The entire gallery is divided into 9 categories:
Logo templates >>
Mockups >>
Icons >>
Fonts >>
Textures >>
Vectors >>
Brushes >>
Photoshop Actions >>
Text effects >>
Pay attention to the license conditions of each individual freebie before downloading it. When most mockups and Photoshop actions are free for both personal and commercial use without any restrictions, some fonts require attribution or contacting their authors in order to get a permission to use them commercially.
