Typically, the timeless and always popular grunge design style is characterized by its aged and fading visual graphics, with either broken or misshapen design elements and is entirely inspired by industrial architecture, urban decay, or in its simplest form, graffiti.
To effectively recreate the grunge style you could, of course, design all of the elements yourself, which would be time-consuming and certainly repetitive when you consider the high quality and volume of freely available grunge brush sets.
In this roundup, we have collected hundreds of grunge and distressed Photoshop brushes in 25 sets to spice up your designs. Whether you are a web designer wanting to give your site a distressed background, or a graphic designer wanting to give a decayed feel to your designs, or even if you are a photographer looking to give your shots a grungy or aged feel, these free brushes are for you.
