Showcase of Watercolour in Webdesign
Inspired in (Web Design) by Chad on August 20, 2008
This past year I have found that more and more websites have some sort of watercolour effect on them. This effect or style has really come alive in 2008. There are many websites that use this effect to create depth and texture. Though in most cases, watercolour being a very subtle effect, your aesthetics of your site can improve greatly. I personally love the watercolour effect, I think it’s not to distracting but adds something to a design.
Here are some extra links, some free brushes and tutorials to help make your own effects.

The Viget Inspire site is my absolute favourite. If you wish to get more free hi-res watercolour brushes I recommend visiting fudgegraphics
I really love watercolour in webdesign & try to make a free wp theme with this style.
I just did a bunch of graphics in this style. I’ve been using a mask to erase the whole image (in photoshop) and then I grab a watercolor brush (the ones from bittbox are great)and use that to bring the image back into view. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to spiff up images.
I’m a huge fan of this style. Thanks for compiling and sharing such an inspiring list!
Really inspirational post, i really need more free time to make some inspired work like these.
