Smudged Gloomy Photoshop Effect

The art itself has been a matter of hot debate since forever: as each piece can evoke different associations and polarly opposite emotions, it’s hard to come to an agreement. But why not just enjoy the view difference? This Photoshop effect will be seen variously, too — for some it may be a creepy smudged image that adds depth to the design, while for others it will be a reference to old noir movies. Either way, this asset will come in handy for creatives who aren’t afraid to take risks and will inspire you to see the bigger picture!

There is no need to jump over your head to create a hypnotizing artwork, sometimes it’s just a well-chosen effect that can do it for you. All the small specks of dust, craft paper texture and grainy smudges make it perfect for adding a somehow horror feeling to your design. With 2 high-quality PSD files you’ll have plenty of choices and options for how to change your original work. But that’s not everything this effect can offer! The editable blur option provides you with the opportunity to smudge any area of the canvas you need. So, turn on your favorite thriller as the background to feel the atmosphere and get creative!
