Grunge Cardboard Overlay Effect

This effect builds on a dense cardboard texture with visible fibers, uneven grain, and muted colors that flatten the image. Details get slightly blurred and absorbed into the surface. The noise and wear add a rough low-fi character. The effect is perfect for DIY posters, underground music graphics, zines, street campaigns, and raw editorial layouts.
