You're so nice! Yeah, it's sort of like a stamp effect. The market(s) are like, I don't know, high school yearbook staffs, digital scrapbookers, maybe small business owners with a copy of Photoshop...people more interested in being able to get a specific result than they are in learning Photoshop.
The one thing I do with brushes is use them on their own layer with style effects...I don't think I've done that for a contest, but it comes in handy for advertising work...just turn the logo into a brush and apply different effects to it. That way you can have a bunch of things to show the client, without a lot of work going into it. More a way to mock up ideas early on.
There are also a disturbing number of people who do "digital scrapbooking." So I guess it's about making things easier for them, too.
Frankly, anyone who wants to send me a PM with their email address, I'm happy to send you a sample set. Tell me what set you want. Again, NOT AS A PLOY FOR SALES...they're just kind of neato like Silly Putty is neato...it's not really good for anything, just kind of fun to play with.
