(the paintroller style round the edges in white.) I've allways done my stuff in fireworks and im realy new to photoshop and have never come across anything in fireworks that allows you to do that.

It just seems to be a white box with some grungy Photoshop brush strokes applied around the edges. You could try Bittbox's watercolor brushes or Fractured Sanity's grunge brushes.

nice thanks alot m8 thats an awsome site. i thought it might be some technique/proccess you have to apply to get that sort of effect. Had no idea it was as simple as installing some pre-made brushes.

you can get some good brushes here: http://www.brusheezy.com/

damn, beat me to it!

 

this site has hundreds of brushes and vector graphics for many genres. I can recommend it to anyone!

also if you can't get your head round photoshop you can create a photoshop file full of the brushes you want to use - i.e. just put all the different brush stroke styles in one document on different layers. then save the file and open it in fireworks and then you can use all the brush styles in fireworks - it's a bit limited, but that's what I do as I'm a fireworks gal!

I like to make grunge.

 

Get a brush, take some mud, paint, blood, lip stick or whatever, get a nice clean sheet of paper (doesnt really matter)

 

Go nuts, then take pics. (the lower the MP the better IMO)

 

then copy, paste, crop it to the bits you want, and goto edit, define brush preset
