How to make this large image to sample to make icon sized textures
/

Select an image with a generall colour scheme you like


Go to filter >> blur >> gaussian blur>> radius 20px (This may vary a little according to your starting image)


go to edit >> transform >> scale and enlarge the image and move it around till it looks pleasing


Open a grungy texture and set it to overlay %100 This one is by darkrose42-stock



You can find lots of grungy textures at deviantart.com. My large textures can be found at tigers-stock.deviantart.com You can also find lots of brushes for photoshop and the gimp there.

Open a new layer >> Select a decrotive brush and stamp a few patterns on in white >> set layer to normal >> opacity %13



Open a new layer >> Select a different decorative brush and stamp on a few patterns in black >> set layer to normal >> opacity %13



This is what my layer list looked like when I had finished


FINISHED
