What You'll Need

1. How to Make Your Own Distressed Textures and Brushes

Step 1

Let's start with the free texture I created for you. You could also create your own just by taking a photo of any metal surface (even with your smartphone!). Open the metal texture in Photoshop and then Double-Click on the background layer to rasterize it.

Step 2

After that, select the layer and press Shift-Control-Alt-B to convert the image to black and white.

Step 3

Hit Control-I to invert the colors of the image, and then go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and use the following settings: Brightness: 132Contrast: 100.

Step 4

Go to Select > Color Range and then select white with the Eyedropper Tool and set the Fuzziness to 50.

Step 5

Once you've selected the white area of the texture, press the Delete button, and then Control-D to deselect.

Step 6

And for the last step, Double-Click on the layer and put a tick on Color Overlay, and select black with Normal Blend Mode and 100% Opacity. After that, just save the texture in transparent PNG file format.

Step 7

Now, let's make a brush from our texture. Open the PNG file and select a part of the document with the Lasso Tool (L). (I added a white background layer here, so you could see the texture better)

Step 8

Go to Edit > Define Brush Preset and press OK to create a new brush.

Step 9

Let's set up the brush. Hit the Brush Settings icon and use the following settings:

  • Shape Dynamics: On; Size Jitter: 100%, Angle Jitter: 100%
  • Scattering: On; Scatter: 129%.

In the next sections, we'll discover how to use these brushes/textures and any others.

2. How to Make Distressed T-Shirt Designs With PNG Textures

Step 1

Before starting to create a distressed tee shirt design, let's create a new document with the following settings:

  • 2000x2000 px
  • 300 dpi
  • Background Color: Black.
Creating a new document

Step 2

Go to File > Place and then select the lettering for your distressed tee shirt design. Once you've placed the image, press Alt-Shift-Control-I to invert the colors of the lettering.

Step 3

Now we are ready to create a distressed texture Photoshop effect! Let's place one of the textures from the 15 Grandpa's Textures pack. I chose distressed Photoshop overlay №3.

adding a distressed texture to the lettering

As you can see, our vintage T-shirt design already looks pretty cool!

And here is a variation with the texture we've created previously, applied the same way:

Step 4

The important thing here is that you need to apply the distressed Photoshop overlay only to the lettering layer. If you make the background Invisible, you'll see that distressed texture applied to the whole document.

Step 5

So, to add the distressed texture Photoshop effect only to the desired layer, you need to select the layer with your texture and then Right Click > Create a Clipping Mask.

Step 6

If you want to make your vintage distressed T-shirts look even older, let's apply another texture. I chose texture №14. Don't forget to Create a Clipping Mask for this new texture.

This is how our distressed T-shirt design looks now:

Step 7

If this still doesn't look grungy enough, let's add one more texture (I selected texture №4) to our vintage shirt design.

3. How to Make a Vintage T-Shirt Design in Photoshop Using JPEG Textures

Step 1

Now, let's try to use JPEG textures from another pack and apply them to our vintage distressed T-shirt design. Place texture №13 from the 14 Distressed Ink Overlays pack above the lettering and Create a Clipping Mask.

adding a jpeg texture to the lettering

Step 2

Change the Blending of the texture to Hard Light, to make our distressed effect Photoshop design less evident.

Step 3

Now, let's add a distressed texture Photoshop effect one more time. I chose texture №3 and changed the Blending Mode to Multiply and the Opacity to 50%.

adding a second jpeg texture

Here is our vintage T-shirt design with JPEG textures applied.

4. How to Make a Distressed Effect in Photoshop With Brushes

Step 1

Now, we'll use distressed Photoshop brushes to create a design for distressed shirts. Let's create a new layer with the Alt-Shift-Control-N shortcut.

Here is how the distressed graphic T-shirt design looks with our own custom brush applied to it:

Step 3

Another way to use the brushes to add texture to a distressed graphic T-shirt is with a mask. Select the layer with your lettering and press Add a Mask.

Step 4

Let's take a heavy grunge brush from the pack and then select the mask of the layer (or use Alt-Right Click to open it) and add a few strokes.

This is how my retro T-shirt design looks now:

5. How to Combine Textures and Brushes to Create a Distressed Graphic T-Shirt

Step 1

To design a distressed T-shirt, we'll use all the methods we've discovered before. Let's Add a Mask to the layer.

adding a mask to the lettering

Step 2

This time, we won't use the brushes on the mask, but we'll paste the texture onto it. So place and resize JPEG texture №1.

placing the jpeg texture

Step 3

Now, we need to select the whole texture using the Rectangular Marquee Tool, and then press Control-C.

Step 4

After that, Control-Right Click to open the mask of the layer, and then hit Control-V to paste the texture.

Step 5

Delete the layer with the texture, and then select the mask of the lettering layer and press Control-I to invert the image.

Step 6

Select the mask of the layer one more time, and go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and use the following settings: Brightness: 105; Contrast: -15.

Step 7

Now, let's add a layer with PNG texture №2, and Create a Clipping Mask.

Step 8

And in this step of creating our retro T-shirt design, let's add a distressed texture Photoshop effect using JPEG texture №12 with Hard Light blend mode and 50% Opacity.

5 Key Elements the Best Restaurant Websites Should Have

Sharing your restaurant's business hours and an address is a great place to start, but if you really want to make the most of your restaurant website design, there are a few must-have features your site needs. Here are a few essentials that the best restaurant and cafe websites should have:

1. Display Your Full Menu

Sharing your menu is a must for any-food related business. It's not enough to state that you're offering Italian or Mexican food; your customers want to know exactly what they can expect. Share your dishes and add nutritional information and a list of ingredients so they can come to your restaurant fully prepared. Consider a theme like Piquant, which offers several ways to display your menus.

2. Take Online Reservations

Taking phone reservations is a great way to ensure you're not overbooking but it's even better if your customers can make a reservation online. This allows them to book any time of day and night and can minimize the time spent on phone reservations—allowing you to focus your attention on other important areas of your business.

3. Process Online Ordering

If you deliver food, consider adding online ordering to your website like in the Capella restaurant theme. Similarly to online reservations, this will reduce your time spent on the phone and your customers won't have to wait for the line to become available. It also allows them to order food just before they leave for home. That way they cna have it delivered shortly after they arrive, which is more convenient than coming home and placing an order.

4. Feature Customer Reviews

Reviews are a powerful feature that can help you attract even more customers to your restaurant. A WordPress theme like Restaurant Cafe makes it easy to integrate a review system and allow anyone who visits your establishment to leave a review and share their experience.

5. Use High-Quality Images

Lastly, do make sure your images are high-quality. While photos of your dishes are great for making mouths water, consider sharing photos of your restaurant's interior as well. This will help you paint a detailed image of the atmosphere in your restaurant and make your visitors more inclined to visit.

4 Benefits of Building Your Restaurant Website with WordPress

As people are spending more time each day online and as technology becomes much more integral in our daily lives, it's important for any and all businesses to be available online too. 

Although restaurants, cafes, and the like, make their sales in-person, there are still many benefits of having a high-quality website for these types of businesses too. These benefits include:

  1. Providing basic information. Many people will want to know about your restaurant before they visit it in person. It could be something as simple as finding out your address and hour of operations, or to browse your menu. Did you know that, 90% of guests research a restaurant online before dining? People research restaurants more than any other business.
  2. Gaining a loyal following. Use your new traffic to build a loyal customer base. A WordPress restaurant website is a gateway to keep in touch with your regular customers. Start building your email list and start offering discounts or other promotions. Facebook's research indicates that 13% of resturant patrions are brand loyal.
  3. Receiving online orders. One of the best reasons to have a restaurant WordPress website is the ability to take even more orders for your restaurants such as takeout or delivery orders. It's a great way to gain more business. After all, according to NRN, in the US, 60% of people order delivery or takeout at least once a week. That's a big business opportunity!
  4. Taking online reservations. Another way to bring more people into your restaurant to take online reservations. Upserve indicates that online reservations create more returning customers. And, online reservations can improve online ratings too.

Having a website for your restaurant business is a great way not only to increase more revenue but also to keep in touch with your patrons in a streamlined way.

21 UI Design Tips to Make You a Better Designer

Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:46 AM PST

Looking to learn UI design or sharpen your design skills? Then you're in the right place! While the fundamentals are a great place to start, the details are where your UI designs really start to feel complete. In this tutorial we'll go over a whole bunch of tips, showing you examples to help you start working on those details to help you create professional and sharp designs.

Intro UI Kit
Intro UI Kit available on Envato Elements

When designing interfaces and UI components it can be easy to get overwhelmed by all of the design choices there are to make. Sometimes a UI design just doesn't quite work until you tweak it over and over until it feels just right. 

Just like how a painting is made of thousands of simple brush strokes, a good UI design is made up of countless small decisions which result in an effortless and enjoyable experience for the user.

Let's go through a whole bunch of tips to work on our UI design skills!

21 UI Design Techniques (With Examples)

1. Fade the Background

When you have a modal window that you really want to command the user's attention fade out the background. This will really make your window stand out the user, prompting them to focus on the action. 

Take a look at the window and the darker background in the example below; the contrast really drives home the importance of the menu options.

Example taken from Mobile Modal Focused Site Template

2. Switch up Background Colors

Divide up content areas using different background colors. Just like headers and footers, a distinct change in background colors can help divide up different areas. This is a great way to drive focus to certain content and provide some visual variety. It can also help keep users engaged and encourage them to scroll.

3. Use Color to Your Advantage

Use color to your advantage! If there is something that's singularly important for the user don't be afraid to use a color that really stands out. 

Try to use colors which aren't used much throughout the rest of the design and try saturating the hue. You might be surprised with the visual appeal too!

4. Customize Those Social Buttons!

Social Media buttons are essential for many design projects. While it seems like a simple task at first, it can be tricky deciding where they go and how to display them. One of the things that often happens is that they can break up the unity of your UI design. They all come in different colors and this can end up feeling like they are competing against each other and your UI for visual real estate.

It's worth taking some extra time to customize your own social buttons to match your UI design. This will provide the much provided visual unity you need for your project!

 5. Add Shapes to Edges of Borders

Add some visual flair between the edges of background borders to help break up the grid. Adhering to the grid is great, but sometimes you want to break free of that blocky look. Adding an image that connects with the next section can really help make your page look more dynamic. You can even direct the users attention up or downwards using an arrow shape. Try to be creative and come up with your own ideas with this concept!

6. Customize Bulleted Lists

Bulleted lists are a helpful tool to help divide up content and make it easier for the user to read key points. A neat trick here is that you can customize bulleted lists to use custom images. This makes for a nice way to push your brand or even provide some informative information through iconography. Try to use unique colors or icons which drive home the message of the content!

 7. Organize Categories into Blocks

There are many situations where you have a lot of information in a bulleted list, or you might be worried that the order of a list is emphasizing the top choices when they should be viewed as equal. In these cases try to divide up this content into blocks that sit along side each other. 

With blocks all the content is presented as being of equal value. Another great benefit of this is that you can customize the design of the boxes and display far more visual information than a simple list can.

 8. Use Color Blind Friendly Colors

Many users with color blindness or other types of visuzl impairment may have difficulty distinguishing between different colors. It's always a good idea to check to ensure your high contrasting colors will also be distinctively different for everyone. 

Photoshop Tip: There's actually a cool trick you can use with Photoshop to check for this! View > Proof Setup then you can select different color blindness filters to check your contrasting colors.

Use Color Blind Friendly Colors


9. Break Up Your Text

It can be really easy to fall into the trap of using big blobs of text. Sometimes this may be how the information was given to you as the designer. However, unless it's an article you are expecting your user to sit down and read with a cup of coffee, it's usually a good idea to start breaking up your information. Users are looking for specific things, so make it as easy as possible for them.

Ensure that headers are distinctive, use bullet points to drive home key information. Use color and bold text to emphasize important pieces. Most of all, make sure your written content is engaging and interesting to look at.

10. Use Blocks, Not Borders

Breaking up content with borders and lines can be a great way to differentiate between different sections. However, they can also add clutter to your designs and while individually may be fine can start to have an overall negative impact on your designs. 

To combat this you can create borders by sectioning your areas with different background colors. This naturally creates a line between the different areas of content, making your designs less cluttered and claustrophobic. The less clutter, the more your content can stand out!

Blocks of Content

11. Space Your Text Wisely

Just as using blocks can help create a grid without borders, well thought out spacing can also have the same effect. When you space paragraphs of text from each other just right, you oftentimes don't even need a separate background color. 

Create large spaces between separate content and bring body text closer to its counterpart heading. This way you can adhere to a grid well with the minimum amount of design flair.

12. Be Consistent With Rounded Corners

It's a common technique to round the corners of your UI elements to give them a softer appearance. The great thing about this is that this doesn't break up the grid. Try to ensure that whichever size you use, you use it consistently on all your design elements. 

You can even take this a step further and and round off other content to the same dimensions such as photos or icons. That kind of unity can really bring a design together!

13. Vary Button Designs by Importance

Sometimes buttons serve different purposes depending on your project and users goals. In these cases you can create emphasis for the more important choices by making bold use of color for one, while using less on buttons of lower importance. 

For example, a login screen will need to accommodate both new and existing users, but you may want to emphasize one of these options depending on your goals.

Try creating two buttons which are the same dimensions, but give the more important button more contrast. In this case "Create an Account" is subdued as most users will be signing in and only need to create an account once.

Vary Button Designs

14. Use Thick One Sided Lines

While it's common to see hover effects on text hyperlinks use underlines, you can also use this on blocks too. Try putting a thick underline across a whole block on rollover to really drive home that the button is clickable. You can also add lines like this to add some visual flair to content boxes.

Thick One Sided Lines

15. Make Your Buttons Stand Out

Flat designs with lots of negative space are becoming really popular. While keeping things simple is great, there is a risk of the user not understanding that navigation buttons are different from regular text. Make use of spacing and unique design elements to really make your buttons stand out from your body text.

16. Take Inspiration From Games (But Not Too Much!)

In the game development world there is a term a called juice which essentially means making the design of your games enjoyable to use. This usually includes bouncy animations which are initiated from button presses. 

Try to add some fresh CSS animations to your buttons or loading screen icons, or creating a unique visual UI for certain features. Of course, web and app development isn't a game and you don't want to waste your users' time, but an added pop or flair from a click can really add some enjoyment to your projects.

17. Add Icons to Your Buttons

While a small piece of text is sufficient there may be cases where an icon can really drive home what the button does! Place the icon next to your text in a similar way you would with a bullet point. 

While I wouldn't use this with every button, it can help the user quickly understand what the button will do. The possibilities are really limitless with an idea like this, for example you could have a cloud icon by a save button or a shopping bag on a buy button. Another great benefit to this is that it can help your design break down some language barriers.

Add Icons to Your Buttons

18. Save Valuable Space By Utilizing Icons

As mobile Apps have become normalized so have many different icons. This provides us with a great opportunity to save some space and make our designs sleek. Have a settings page? Instead of having this as a main navigation item, create a Gear icon that's easily accessible. Don't have enough room for a search bar? Try out a magnifying glass icon that makes that bar accessible when the user needs it.

While this can't replace every link in your navigation you can create a distinction between your content and the tools which are used to navigate that content.

Menu Icons Save Space

19. Take Advantage of CSS Gradients

When you really absolutely need to gain attention for a button try out placing an ambient gradient. While I would advise against overusing gradients on navigation, this extra piece of visual flair can really put an edge on a visual component.

20. Overlap Content Over Edges

Another great idea when working with the edges of content areas is overlapping content. This really provides emphasis to the content itself and adds some interesting depth that can be hard to achieve over flat colors. It can do a great job of bridging the gap between one section to the next too!

Overlap Content Over Edges

21. Use Spacing Between Text

Sometimes text can feel a little lonely when it's by itself. Something you can do to make it stand out is adjust the spacing of the letters! Try doing this with all upper case letters on titles to give your headers a sophisticated look. 

It also works wonders on text that is out on its own without much else around it. This is a great way to provide some emphasis without making the font size larger.
