Acid Wash Graphics

Acid Wash is a magic system of making own Acid wash and bleached textures in Adobe Photoshop.

I was inspired by contemporary fashion /bleached and acid wash fabrics are everywhere. Therefore, I decided to make some textures ready to use in digital. 

My goal was to create such textures, that could be used in various kind of design - backgrounds, web graphics, print graphics, lettering and etc.

So I bought some acid and started experimenting. Many clothes were destroyed until I found right way how to make it. Firstly, I took old t-shirts and drop some acid/bleach on them. It looked great, but if I scanned it to the computer, I was upset.

A texture of T-shirt was so heavy - it was breaking my hardly made acid textures!!! 

Well, I had to start again. I took some paper, ink, and acid. And it worked. Best thing, it has still looked great after scanning, so I was again on the right path to success.


Here is the video how it was made:

Ok, I had a few textures, but I wanted more. You know, Acid wash textures have quiet complex texture and it is really hard to include into one layer PNG file. I had an idea of “machine”, that allow you make your own textures easily. So, I made PSD file that contains layers as smart objects - it allows you to have control over textures, colours, blending mode etc.
