This tutorial is targeted at achieving a detailed 3D LCD monitor using Adobe Photoshop. The result could be used as an icon. To arrive at the final design, we will use basic Photoshop features such as the selection tools, layer styles, the Gradient Tool, the Pen Tool, and more. A proficiency in utilizing the Pen Tool and the Lasso Tool is needed in order to get the most out of this Photoshop tutorial.

This pack of textures comes with 8 high-resolution image files of pavement, which you can use to incorporate rough and gritty elements into your design projects. The images are huge (between 1875 to 3000px in width), giving you the ability to use them in a variety of ways. They can be used free of charge any way you like, as long as you don’t redistribute/resell the actual files and texture pack themselves.
