Adobe Illustrator CS5 allows you to create vector graphics on your computer for digital documents, computer programs or website design. You can apply your own textures to any image by using Illustrator's built-in Texturizer artistic effect. This effect allows you to choose from pre-made textures and customize the intensity and style of the texture. Textures give a normally flat image added depth and design, depending on how you apply them to your image.

1

Launch Illustrator CS5 on your computer, click “File” then select “Open” to open an existing image in the program.
2

Click the “Effect” menu from the top toolbar, then click “Texture.”


3

Select the “Texturizer” option. A new window will appear.
4

Click the “Texture” drop-down menu to select the kind of texture you would like to use. Illustrator provides you with textures such as “Sandstone,” “Canvas,” “Burlap” and “Brick.”
5

Move the sliders to the left or the right to increase or decrease the intensity of the texture. You will see the change in the image in the sample box.
6

Click “OK” to apply the texture to your image.
7

Click “File” and click “Save” to save the changes to your image.

Remember some of these will be a raster image with a clipping mask instead of a true vector. Depending what your designing for I would use with caution.

That's not really creating your own textures much as it is using the provided textures. I've had good luck creating textures from scratch by scanning drawings or fabrics and converting the raster images using the live trace function. It's an easy way to add some ORIGINAL character to your designs.

This is a great suggestion. This way your texture feels more organic, and less "stock" like.
