Hey Bloggees! It's been a while since the last post and figure you should be rewarded for your patience. With that, I'd like to share with you ... websites where you can download material to use for your next project. Get your bookmarking tool ready for this...
FONTS
dafont.com: This was one of the first font websites I learned about. The website is full of fonts available for commercial and personal. Before going wild on the downloads, do realize that you can't use personal fonts for commercial use. My advice is, go for commercial use and donationware.
Font Squirrel: This is definitely a site you will want to come back to time and again. Unlike dafont, Font Squirrel's collection of fonts are commercial free and free to use. This site is definitely a personal fav.
IMAGES
Free Images: Formerly know as stockxchange, Free Images is a good starting point for finding free images. If you are willing to pay for images, the site's search bar can help you find images on istock.
Pic Jumbo: Great commercial free photo site to explore. The photos are divided up into categories. The site itself may not have as much as say shutterstock or istock. However, there are some real gems in there.
Unsplash: is set-up like a scrolling page website. The site provides unique, artistic style photography that is free to use. I've used unsplashed images on this blog on a few occasions (including today's posting).
MISCELLANIOUS
Blog.Spoon Graphics: This web blog, hosted by designer Chris Spooner, provides great material (from Photoshop actions to patterns). For a monthly fee, you can access even more material. The free elements are definitely worth a visit.
DBFreebies: I just discovered this site this summer and it is definitely a gold mine! The site is a portal that keeps track of free design elements (fonts, backgrounds, etc...) that are posted on dribbble and behance. One of my personal favs is the font Streetwear.
I hope this makes up for the lack of articles faithful Bloggees. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to write again soon. 'Till next time!
