  • hantata, on 10/10/2008, -5/+11This is great. I close my browser everytime I see a curvy "web2.0" design, I welcome grunge with open arms...
  • albyliontk, on 10/10/2008, -3/+8Great collection of Grunge Photoshop Effects. I particularly like the Urban city one, I am learning how to use photoshop right now and this would be helpful in the learning process.

  • dafragsta, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Same here. I've been forced to churn out that Web 2.0 squeaky stuff for the past two years but I started my design career with the ambitions of doing game textures and I REALLY love doing grungy nasty HR Giger stuff that seems to actually have weight to it. This isn't quite that, but it embodies a more organic look which makes things seem more tangible and inviting.
  • yngtimmy, on 10/10/2008, -1/+3you're a dirty, DIRTY photoshop effect!
  • Phoenixheart, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Never thought I would someday love dirty and filthy craps...
  • s1ade, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2and you tried so hard with the grammar and punctuation...
  • RadiatedAnt, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2I misread it as the top 50 dirty, filthy rich people for some reason...
  • louiebaur, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2GRRR!!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -3/+4Grunge- it's the new boring!
  • MonkeyNews, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Frankly I'm sick of both trends. "Grungy" is the new "Shiny".
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2"load up on guns - briiing your friends, it's fun to lose and to --"
    sorry.

  • darny, on 10/10/2008, -1/+1so-so?
  • thefbimonkey, on 10/10/2008, -1/+1Anyone else expecting to see some Nirvana or Pearl Jam on here? eh?
  • Armina5, on 10/10/2008, -3/+3so cool...
  • pathouston22, on 10/10/2008, -1/+1Me too! But I try to avoid making cliche websites, graphics, or animations. Be origional!
  • fungalboom, on 10/11/2008, -0/+0Also, I thought I was going to see something 'grunge', reminiscent of Soundgarden et al, but instead... I am reminded of 'My Chemical Romance'?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2008, -0/+0awesome stuff...
  • Khoppers, on 10/12/2008, -0/+0The grunge look. In my opinion the hair metal of the design world. it's all over the place. It looks cool when used in the right situation, but not everywhere.
  • fungalboom, on 10/11/2008, -0/+0He probably listens to new wanna-be grunge, never heard the real stuffs. Not as if these photos are any good representation of that age either. These are more commercialised Hot Topic type, which goes against grunge ideals anyway.
  • PereGoriot1, on 02/02/2009, -0/+0These are actually pretty cool. They could easily be applied to so many photos, such as these ones of hot Polish girls: http://www.sexypolishgirls.com
  • alvarocker, on 10/10/2008, -1/+0i loooove the grunge stuff
  • daschupa, on 10/10/2008, -2/+0Tutorial:
    1. Find grungy texture
    2. place as top layer above the image you wish to grungify
    3. hit multiply

    There I saved you from clicking on about 30 of those links.
  • zhishubao, on 10/11/2008, -2/+0so cool,I like it

  • pathouston22, on 10/10/2008, -4/+2Oh look, I can copy paint splatters and drips with wierd colors and maybe a few arrows and "evolutions" and make a website! I'm so creative!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -6/+3Bad design trend named after "so-so" music movement.
