Applying Icon Textures
This is a quick way to make your icons more interesting. Heres an icon base:
First copy an icon texture, I'll use this one:
Then create a new layer on your icon base and paste the texture onto the new layer. Set the layer's blend mode from 'Normal' to your choice of blend mode.
Icon textures often work out best in Screen, Multiply,Overlay or Colour Burn.
Heres how mine turned out. Applying normal textures to layouts follows the same principle.
