If, like me, you love the jumbled, inconsistent and iconic look of 19th century newsprint then this is the perfect pack for you. Using real antique material, I've put together the tools you need to create your own convincing printed ephemera.

How was the pack made?

• Handy border brushes to bring that classic charm to your designs.
• Eye-catching headline type effects.
• Advert and newspaper templates for you to easily adapt.
• Vintage paper textures to add instant aging.

What is the pack useful for?

This tool kit is perfect for creating packaging designs, flyers, invites, greetings cards, apparel, soft furnishings, stationary, branding and much, much more. Why not use it for a craft project, a vintage style logo or advert for your business? And, of course, the pack is perfect for creating Harry Potter style newspaper designs too!
