just when you thought satori had run out of awesome free resources he comes at you with seven
new websites that you can make great to use of in your design workflow and that starts right here
with this super handy website for social media artwork or designs now we graphic designers often
work for clients that need social artwork or maybe for our personal branding and social accounts
it can be confusing to know what size each document should be relative to each social media
platform well this website has up-to-date sizes for every single platform and not only that it
offers free downloads as you can see here for xd ps and ai they're quick and easy to download and
i'm sure you can see how helpful this website can be and it's probably a good idea to bookmark this
little gem somewhere in your folders the website also has some tools up here which i haven't
explored too much myself but that's something that you might want to do in your own time
however the main law of this website is of course all of the social media document downloads
speaking about free downloads this next resource has tons of ready-made to use templates now if we
give a quick search for our contract as example we can see all of these templates come up in
the search results you want to ideally look for this label here in gray that says free now they
have tons and tons of categories as you can see at the top and looking at the invoice templates
section we have a nice number of free downloads now this website does have some excellent free
finds if you do look around and it's another one i suggest you add to your bookmark folder
and going back to our social media theme today we even have templates for things like ig stories
these can be real time savers to us graphic designers and i'm all for saving time in my
workflow but of course it's best to edit your templates and make them your own and not just
use them as they are but what about some free fonts not only free but entirely open sourced
use modify is a collection of typefaces that are open source meaning that you can adjust them and
do whatever you like to them before using them on your commercial projects yes there isn't a huge
amount on here but it's another interesting free font website that you can bookmark
in this year of 2022 my favorite website is still fontesque when it comes to fonts
but yeah there are some decent fonts to grab on here and if you're someone who can
tinker with fonts these might be a great base to start from the download links are
often external as you can see here one takes us to github but yeah let's take a look at the next
handy dandy resource for us graphic designers i've spoken about icon 8 on this channel before but
recently they branched off and they've made a kind of project creator sort of website it's for those
designers who are in a hurry or maybe who lacks skills in programs like photoshop or whatever
you can choose a template customize it and then bam export it and keeping
with our random intrigue of instagram today let's hop into one of these story templates
now i'm just gonna grab a random face to demonstrate and of course you should pay attention
to detail on your designs so font selection color choice and so on but yeah anyway it's valentine's
day soon and how happy would you be to get this card from me and of course be honest more free
mockups i thought i'd found all the decent places to grab free mockups but it seems i did miss the
most obvious website domain name free dash mockup just take a look at the amount of categories we
have here let's go back to basics and take a look at some sketchbook mockups and when this appears
just click off the screen to sidestep the ad but yeah there are some decent finds on here and in
a video last year i spoke about my approach to mockups i have folders saved on my computer and
my external hard drive with mockups in them ready to use on projects this saves me time when i work
on a project so i don't need to search for them on the internet and then download them
i have them all ready to go in relevant folders and that's just a quick tip for you guys
inspiration is often really important especially for those slow days
this website showcases many cool and inspiring websites i do like to come here from time to
time and browse around and see what's what it can show you potential trends or just a general vibe
within the design industry not to mention trigger some inspiration in my workflow
diving into this website here i'm really amazed by the level of animation involved when simply
just scrolling down the webpage itself it shows how their product clicks into place and functions
all on their homepage how awesome is that now i do have a set of websites in a bookmark folder
based around inspiration inspiration isn't copying you need to make the designs your own
an inspiration tends to send me in a direction rather than replication there is a big difference
there i find this one is really useful but let's move on to some free illustrations
this chap here lucas adam has created a ton of illustrations and he's handing them out for free
in a single download you do have to give up your email address for them but i have a trick for that
i actually have a dummy email account set up for any website asks me for my address in turn for
downloads there are quite a lot of interesting and useful illustrations here and if you want to grab
them or any of the downloads in today's video they are all linked in the description box below but
before you do that i want to ask you guys to subscribe to my backup channel youtube has been
pretty weird lately to quite a lot of creators and i don't want this channel to randomly get taken
down in the future for whatever reason and thus the community vanishing so you can find my backup
channel linked down there as well i do upload random videos from time to time and also some
re-uploads from the past on the main channel but if you do want to see more graphic design content
by myself click the video on screen and until next time guys design your future today peace
you
