Folks, I recently released new design assets. It& #39;s a bunch of grids. Don& #39;t skip the thread just yet, I promise it might get interesting.

Are you making a retrowave/synthwave/1980s piece, and need the right grounding element? Are you composing a mid-century modern mood board, and need some visual structure? Are you crafting a collage, and need a nifty pattern? I got you.

Why grids? Well, if you& #39;ve followed me feeds recently, you& #39;ve seen me working on this cool thing started by @ableparris, called #collageretreat.

For that project, Able & others (including yours truly) shared a bunch of freebies, one of which is a cool sheet of old graph paper. It& #39;s been a great asset through that series of collages.

Collage Retreat — Able Parris

Let’s collage, alone, together. No stressin’, just messin’. A WTF.studio project.

Well, somewhere in my archives, my wife found four pages of actual vintage graph paper (late 1900s). I started scanning these in, and then lost control from there.

I started making grids, printing them, then drawing grids, then scanning them, then drawing some more, then scanning those in, then making a series of distorted scans, then loosing my sanity, then scanning some more.

I̶& #39;̶m̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶d̶r̶a̶w̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶g̶r̶i̶d̶s̶.̶ ̶S̶e̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶e̶l̶p̶.̶

All the hand-drawn grids were drawn using Micron pens, and a good acrylic square. That said, because they& #39;re hand-drawn, they have their share of artifacts, imperfections, and pen sputters.

The printed versions are based on imperial measurements. The grids range from .125" to 2" for the base square.

There are twenty-four distorted grid elements, also scanned at really high resolution, and sized at 18" wide.

Of course, I& #39;ve also included transparent versions, vector versions, and Bitmap TIFF versions, so you& #39;ll have the file ready to go for whatever use you need it for. Everything is clearly labeled, named, and organized for practicality.

To recap, that& #39;s:

• Forty-five (45) base assets
• 18" wide @ 300 ppi
• Bonus: transparent PNG versions
• Bonus: Bitmap TIFF versions
• Bonus: vector versions
