Yazooy.com is your one-stop shop for high-quality Photoshop styles, brushes, and shapes.
What is Yazooy?Yazooy isn't a new type of kazoo, or a funny named search engine. Yazooy is a website specializing in Art Resources for graphic designers, web developers, and photoshop enthusiasts. Primarily, Yazooy.com specializes in Adobe Photoshop Styles. Additionally, you're likely to find add-ons both free and commercial for Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, Elements, Illustrator, and other great artist programs. Products include styles (one click effects), actions (batch operations), series of vector shapes, brushes for photoshop, textures, patterns, and gradients. There are many sets available for purchase through the online storefront (formerly PhotoShopUnlimited.com). |
All Sets that are available are labeled as products of Yazooy.com, and although many are free, retain the copyright of Raymond C. Dukes or other artist if otherwise specified. All products are royalty-free if used per the Terms of Use.
Webmasters, you are free to link to Yazooy.com or the Product Catalog. Please do not link to any downloads, however, as they are constantly updated. You may use any of the buttons below.
As any successful Graphic Artist knows, you need to meet your deadlines. The most prominent way to do that is with shortcuts - but you don't want to sacrifice the quality of your work for project speed. What on earth could be the solution, you may ask? Yazooy.com to the rescue!
My name is Raymond Dukes, the original artist behind the site. I've been
a member of the Adobe Exchange since the early days when
it was the ActionXchange, and then the Adobe Studio Exchange -- 8+ years
-- my how time flies. It still amazes me every time I see my styles used
on websites, in packaging in stores, and in people's digital scrap books
- no matter how long I've been providing Photoshop downloads on the internet.
Speaking of which, besides the professional styles available through the
online store, you'll also find free downloads at Adobe's
site, Deviant
Art, the stock photo StockXchange,
and the occasional freebie on this site as well.
It's cheaply affordable, it's fast, and it's effective. Good Stock Photos can give you the visuals you need to take your client's breath away. Great (and I can't stress this enough) quality photoshop styles will enhance your designs and give tired, old templates new life. Go from the look of Net 1.0 to Net 2.0 overnight (sometimes literally)!
Did I say it's affordable? The stock licenses through Yazooy are in the $1-3 range. Even if you're a designer on a shoestring budget, you can probably afford Yazooy photos. The most Photoshop styles, shapes, and actions on Yazooy are from $0.10 to $0.50 each! There are even a ton of FREE ones!
Downloads are also simple, trouble-free, and if you DO run into a problem downloading orders, there's a live person that will find a way to get the download to work for you. And there is no additional paperwork for photos or styles you download, everything falls under a single copyright document found in the store.
Yes, before you ask, all styles can be used to create websites, advertisements, and digital scrapbook kits without additional license costs. As long as you aren't redistributing the original style, action, brush, or unmodified shape, you are good to go!
What are Photoshop Styles? Timesavers similar to running
several filters on a single layer, but you are able to change the contents
of that layer, and the style will reapply itself automatically! A true
timesaver you will wonder how you ever lived without.
Need a button to look like beveled marble? Easy! Make a button shape on
a new layer, add one of our Marble
Styles, and presto-change-o a Marble button. Need glass? Use a glass
style. Need Gold? We have gold.
How about a text layer that looks like diamond? Bling it up with Blingers.
You can use styles to make your program interfaces similar to Windows or Mac OS, or like nothing anybody has ever seen before.
Most of all, Styles are fun to play with - whether you're a child, or an adult. Personally, I don't consider a style successful unless I've had fun playing with them and fun making them.
It is a continued commitment to excellence Yazooy.com strives for. With the addition of these updates, we hope you will share our vision in 2007!
