RESOURCE GUIDE
APPLYING TEXTURES
Once you have Downloaded and Extracted the Folders, the Textures are ready to be used in Adobe Illustrator. BMP Textures are extremely easy to use even if you are new to Adobe Illustrator. File - Place the Textures over your finished and grouped artwork to use with Opacity Masks for T-Shirt Distressing. If you are new to Adobe Illustrator, we will be going through how to use Opacity Masks and the Transparency Panel (Videos Below).


File - Place in BMP Textures: Once you have grouped and resized (if needed) your own finished original artwork, you are ready to bring in the BMP Textures. Under File - Place Textures into your working Artboard. Scale to Fit over your entire design. To use Textures with Opacity Masks you will need to Group and Scale your Finished Artwork before Applying.

Using Opacity Masks: This method of masking is used a lot for T-Shirt Design (using your own original artwork). The idea is to have the garment color shine through your own design. The Texture will cut through your design to give a vintage or worn appearance. First select your finished design and the BMP Texture. Go to the Transparency Panel and click "Make Mask."
