One of the trends that seems never to go completely out of fashion is using animal elements in designs. From early childhood we learned to roar like a dangerous tiger and was told you could be stubborn as a donkey or wise like an owl! Using animals to describe a strength or character is one of the most simple ways to reinforced a message and the codes are universal understood.

Especially for designs used worldwide, the tendency of adding an animal theme is quite common. There are many ways to implement animal symbols into your design both the use of animal patterns on clothes, creative animal logo designs such as the Twitter bird and the Hootsuite owl and creating special features such as migrating birds to highlight a certain design are popular. Whatever the need, you will often find yourself spending valuable time online searching for a new Photoshop brush to fulfill this exact new design need. To help you out, I have compiled this collection of free animal themed Photoshop brush sets you can use to get a head start.
