Welcome back, everyone!
Who doesn't love free design resources!?
These are my go-to resources for images,
graphics, videos and music.
I have used many different sites.
And some you may have used before and some you might not have.
Like always, do make sure that you check any license agreement before using the download.
Unsplash has over a million free high-resolution photos.
All photos here are free to download and use.
Look at the details in the images.
If you click on the 'i,'
you can see how the photo was taken at what shutter speed,
aperture to the type of camera.
You don't need to give credit,
but it's always nice to do so.
Another resource is Pexels.
What I like about this site is the high-end quality of videos and free stock photos.
You can use it everywhere.
Free for commercial use.
No attribution required.
Let's look at drone footage.
I have used this in one of my videos too.
Pixabay has high-quality videos,
photos, illustrations, and music too!
Like the first two resources,
Pixabay expands the resources to
include other necessary needs, such as music.
The music is free for commercial and non-commercial use.
Icons8 has many
different options to download the design stuff for free
— icons, photos, UX illustrations, and music for your videos.
But the best part, it has transparent PNG
images for your design collages.
This site uses AI for the site.
Let's click on Photos and Photo Creator.
Look how easy to create a mockup.
Freebies Bug is
excellent for web designers, web developers and graphic designers.
This site is updated continuously for mockups, UI Kits to PSD,
HTML websites to Sketch, Figma, InVision and so forth.
Maybe I need to create a mockup or a website.
I can click on download, and I would get the whole package that makes up the project.
It does make life easier if you need different ideas,
or maybe you can't do a specific action.
Paaatterns is another
excellent resource for those who love using patterns in their designs
created in a vector format for Sketch, Figma,
XD, and Adobe Illustrator.
This site will need your email address so they can email you a link to the files.
In Illustrator,
you will notice the data are vector,
and a drawing is made up of points and angles to create resolution-independent artwork.
The next site is pretty sick,
humaaans, mix-&-match illustrations of people with a design library.
Create your remix.
Change the hair, tops, and pants.
Rotate and position the elements in your body;
however, you like.
For example, to get started,
I click on Use Blush
and choose Scenes.
I will pick one character.
The colour of my background and background colours can be changed here.
Maybe, I will change to a wireframe.
I can go ahead and replace my body parts.
Well, I currently have a shaved head, so let's pick this one.
And change the clothing.
Click on download.
If you want to download a bigger
file such as a large PNG
or SVG,
you will need to pay.
Granted, with the illustration,
you could potentially do an auto-trace
if you needed the human body to be a vector file.
Unblast selects the best of the best,
putting at your hands
quality resources such as mockups,
fonts, templates, graphics,
and saves you tons of searching hours.
What do I like about this site?
If you notice that next to each of the digital downloads,
you can see an icon.
For example, Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and XD.
This lets you know what application the download is best suited for.
So there is no guessing what app you should use.
Some of you may need to send out email blasts to customers or clients.
This next resource is called Really Good Emails.
It has tons of templates on both in
code or design,
and some of the templates are eye-catching too!
You do need to register your email with them to download the templates.
My last resource is Adobe Color.
On the left-hand side, you have colour schemes to make
quick and easy colour groups.
The cool thing about this app,
you can find the colour palettes
influenced by specific sectors.
I could go to trends,
see what the fashion trends are,
or enter the word wedding in the search field,
and I get those colour trends!
