Where Credit Is Due
Thanks for checking out our post of 50 free design textures! Remember that even though these are all free for you to use in your designs, several of the photographers request that you simply give them credit for the photo when you use it. This can be as simple as a link on the bottom of a page, or a reference in a blog post.
Leave a comment and let us know if you liked the post and how you plan on using the textures in your own work!

Definitely took #3 Grandma’s house and used it for my twitter background.
I really love this list! I’m just in the beginning of my experiences with textures, so I don’t know what I will use them for ;)
