BUCKSHOT Vector Type Effects

Buckshot Illustrator grunge effects in seconds! - 100% Vector


I set out a long time ago to try and achieve a constant relationship between the texture inside my typography work and the texture around it. After months of playing and experimenting in Illustrator I've finally cracked a way of getting that organic look and getting it in seconds. Plus it's 100% vector, so can be scaled to any size.

All it takes is just 3 simple steps:

  • 1/ Add some Type (Font or Hand Lettering)
  • 2/ Choose a Texture
  • 3/ Play the Action!

..simple as that.

Plus with loads of customizable settings you can given even more variations of texture, such as:

  • Size of outer texture spread
  • Strength of effect inside & out
  • Just having the inner or outer texture
  • Controlling edge or center texture
