15 different coffee stains vector graphic marks made by different mugs, teacups and glasses with round bottoms. This is based on a previous set of  just five models which i’ve decided to update. You’ll be able to find anything from very thin full circle symbols to very thick ones which are only partially visible. Along some of them there are also punctual stains dripping from the base, similar to those left by ink drops. Although they appear to have roughly the same size, the graphics are saved as black and white swatches at their original sizes in order to have a better idea about their actual look.

The design process involved (the dirty job of) creating the actual stains on a couple sheets of white paper. They were then scanned into the computer and cleaned/erased all the wrinkles and other unnecessary shades of gray. Applying a threshold step allowed for better control over the amount of details preserved. This also meant speeding up the tracing process and improving the overall results.

Set of 8 truck and ATV tire tracks brushes of different sizes and geometric shapes, each colored in a different earth tone hue. The patterns range from simple alternating ones with two or three threads to more complex variations with several irregular shapes on each side. Some of the caterpillar tracks have larger gaps between them. Each of the track is saved as a swatch, with proper clipping, so you can simply apply it to the strokes.

I came up with this set of vector graphic images after working on a website for an off-road vehicle dealer. Because the animated Flash header already featured some ATVs racing on a dirt track, it wouldn’t have made sense using the same idea as the background of the site. That’s why i went for a simple dirty green gradient with all sorts of fading tire tracks overlaid on top. This gave it a nice touch without cluttering the page or distracting the viewers. While i could have easily went and bought any of the previously available stock vector graphics, i thought it would be more fun and creative to try and create my own.
