i found some new resource websites that you will surely want to bookmark and use on a
regular basis in your graphic design workflow the first one being a font website called font-esque
now this website is totally awesome and let me show you why every single download is displayed
with creative artwork and we also have this handy dandy free for commercial use button
so that basically means now that every single download we look at is going to be
legally okay to use on any project but going back to the creative art side of things every single
typeface we see here has a nice little thumbnail showing us how the fonts in the family might look
furthermore if we actually head into one of the downloads we get even more creative goodness
and we can see the font family in action of our choice this not only looks good but it might be a
good indication of how best to use these fonts and there are a lot of fonts on this website as well
and you can make use of the browse categories at the very top also you can see here that it
states that this font is free for commercial use as promised with that handy search button and next
up i found a new inspiration website i'm sure as designers you understand that we sometimes
need to look at excellent design for ideas to steer us in the right direction and this
website is called site inspire because they show various different websites that could inspire you
again like with the font website from before this one has good looking thumbnails to entice you
into something you might like and once you've found that something you can head
to the original source like so some of the links on this website might be old and thus redundant
but there are plenty of great things to look at and study on this website for example this
landing page here is really neat and has some decent animated components there are also a fair
amount of categories to narrow down your search in terms of style types platforms and subjects
site inspire might be the best place for you to go and get those creative juices flowing
the website websites in today's video might not be new per se but to me they are new because i've
recently found them and that goes for the third resource in today's video royal pixel
now this place has over a million downloads and not everything is free on here
however there are a lot of three things to grab and it's a good place to bookmark and come back
to from time to time and hey let's give a search or something and see what we end up getting
you'll notice that here we have the option to narrow things down to photos pngs mockups graphics
illustrations and so on there are tons of filters to use also the public domain and free options and
this ensures that you won't be wasting your time looking for paid downloads unless of course you
don't mind paying for downloads but as you can see there is a wide range of things to grab and
also download from this resource next up a kitchen a cool place where i found lots of free mock-ups
alien valley also has a free and premium option but clicking the freebies option here there are
tons of free and clean mock-ups to download now my style of design when working client projects
mainly does match this style of mock-up and so i've personally downloaded loads of them and put
them into my mock-ups folder for later use so yeah if you want some free clean and minimal mockups
then this site might be another good option for you to look at and looking at this book mock up
here we can see how crisp and how clear everything looks and as i said it's totally free too
they do have other things like fonts and templates on alien valley and so it might
be worth having a good lucky lou and a good peek around and seeing what's what
the next resource that i stumbled across is really really interesting who can use
basically shows you how good or how bad a color combination is in terms of visibility and use
you choose your color combo in the bottom left and then you see how it fares on the right hand side
you end up getting a grade and a score along with a preview of how the color combination will work
on a background with text overlays it's quite a technical resource and it's really interesting
to see the color combo and how it's failing or succeeding so when you're next thinking of using
a specific color combination on your designs it might be worth coming over here and seeing
how it translates to the end user now you can find every resource in today's video linked down below
but if you want yet more free resources click a video on screen and grab some more free
goodies and of course until next time guys design your future today peace
ain't nobody else for me
