Your work is outstanding, thank you so much for sharing. I am a bit unclear as to the terms of use however. Are you saying the brushes can be downloaded and used as a tool to create original art, and the original art can be used commercially, but the brush files themselves cannot be distributed for commercial purposes?
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing this out :)
ReplyDeleteYes, correctly said. It is clearly stated that you can create design or art using the installed brush sets, but the brush files (before they are installed to your Photoshop application) are not allowed to be re-distributed or re-sold by anyways (from website, CDs or another file sharing services) unless you have our permission.
Someone really decided to put on their thinking cap, great going! It’s fantastic to see people really writing about the important things.
ReplyDeleteDexter really apreciate your thought and comment :) I think, every artworks are part of intelectual property, this kind of disclosure will atleast protect them from any copyright infringements.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to clarify usage of the brushes. I understand that I cannot re-distribute, sell, upload, etc...the brush files themselves> what about creating artwork with those brushes and then selling the artwork (i.e. cafepress.com)?
ReplyDeletebmcclister,
ReplyDeleteThank you for contacting us! Yes you are free to sell your artwork which includes Graphic Identity's brushes collection as part of decorative graphical element.
I hope this would answer your question.
Thank you so much for your generosity, the time and effort that you put in your work, and of course, for these designs, Graphic Identity! :) I really appreciate it---your corner designs might be the touch I need to create an appealing poster for a club my friends and I are thinking of starting.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
Hi Jean,

ReplyDeletethanks the brushes are awesome! I am using them to create the basis for t-shirts used by starting bands in the Houston area
ReplyDelete"you are free to: [...] whether for personal or commercial use"
ReplyDeleteWhy is the CC Logo NC then?
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteNon-commercial in the CC label means that you are not allowed to redistribute Graphic Identity original zip (or rar) file on your own site, and sell them to another third party.
It is different context as stated in here:
"you are free to: [...] whether for personal or commercial use" ~ because it means you are welcome to use our freebies to design commercial items (publication, printed stuffs, packaging, web-graphic materials, etc.)
I hope this information can help you understand the license of Graphic Identity free design box.
Thank you so much for such beautiful and free designs. I am a beginner and really enjoy learning how to use these brushes. It is very nice that you offer them for free!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for so generously sharing your lovely work! I think this might be just what I need to pretty up a quick little flyer I need to make for a friend's photo studio :).
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great brushes!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your time and effort. It is very frustrating trying to design a simple personal website and finding 1 million brushes on deviant art that you are not allowed to use for that purpose. I wish everyone was as open to sharing art and encouraging original creativity as you are.
ReplyDeleteYour brushes are awesome! :)
