If you want to create that famous sunburst or rising sun effect that is commonly used in retro design and pop art, all you need is a few Photoshop sunrise brushes. The rising sun effect is great for creating a stripe texture and it works well as a background for postcard and poster designs. With a bit of noise and grunge effect a rising sun brush also makes a great design element for grunge artworks. You will find all the rising sun brushes you need in your designs in this article. In addition, I added some sunray brushes that I am sure you will find useful. I recently collected some cool light brushes as well. Many of these brushes are related to the brushes you find here and I am sure they could work well together.

Seasoned designers with a great arsenal of various brushes and experience using them can do serious magic in a few minutes. Time for you to fill up your designer toolbox with some cool sunburst brushes and get started using the rising sun effect in your designs.
