Hi,
Im working on a rulebook for a tabletop game, and I have a zodiac chart in the book. Ive made the diagram in Illustrator, but I was hoping to get the line quality to look a bit tattered/frayed just a bit. Anyone have any suggestions to accomplish this in either photoshop or illustrator?

Take a brush with alot of texture and lower the opacity, put on scattering and space it out alot so it has little jaggedy blobs far apart. Then run it over some of the lines with white "paint" to make them more ragged. Or, if the lines are on a separate layer, set up the brush as an eraser and erase parts of the lines.

That's how I'd do it. :)

BTW - this probably isn't the right section to ask a question like this. You could have posted in WIP & Help or in the Questions, Tricks and Hints Sections. I think either would be a more appropriate place. ;)
