Description
Give your artwork a unique handmade look with the Chalkboard Effect Pack. To get the most authentic look possible, all of the textures were the result of many hours spent hands-on with real chalk.
All you have to do is load up one of our provided high res PSDs (wide format or tall format), load in your artwork, play one of 3 actions (to generate the effect), and hit save!
If you want to get more technical, there are loads of customization options to get exactly the look you want. As a bonus, we’ve included textures to add to your artwork, and to add to the background. We’ve included bonus AI brushes to give your artwork the imperfect edges that would come naturally with chalk. We’ve also included various bonus elements that you’d commonly use with a chalk project, such as circles and underlines.
GENERATOR CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What fonts did you use?
A: I’ve included links to seven fonts that I’d recommend using. Most have been used in these mockups.
Q: What resolution are the textures?
A: Textures are 4100px wide (and larger) brushes for CS6+ users. For users who don’t have PS CS6+ the textures are scaled down to 2499px wide due to software limitations. I’ve included a PSD file with the textures in their full size, so that users without CS6+ are not left out.
