Here are a lot of textures from many Italian cities, all in high resolution. Enjoy.

I finished the base layout for Vulto’s new site today. For this project I had to create about 20 icons. I’m really tired of aqua, Mac OS and XP icons and their over hyped glossy styles.  All I wanted was something simple, colorful and effective, so I used the Adobe Creative Suite icon style as reference.

These are very minimal icons with good visualization. They are easy to customize. I’m sharing some icons with you, and I didn’t forget the original Photoshop file. Enjoy!
