today I have eight different must-haves freebies that you can use as a designer
some of them are actually resources and downloads but others are a fun way to
learn and it's also a couple of graphic design games in there to remember that
all freebies in today's video are linked down in description box below
but yeah follow along and see why today's lists our must-haves for
designers first we have a website that can compress any image you upload to it
in a very easy manner sometimes as graphic designers you'll be aware that
we need to lower the size of an image whilst retaining the quality this
service does just that amateurs one click and you can actually toggle with
the slider to see the quality before and after take note that the quality here is
basically the same and also the file size as shown below you then have
multiple options for downloading and saving the image onto your computer
the next entry on today's list for awesome freebies for graphic designers
is a source for downloads and especially PS DS however they're also vectors are
never download - for 365 PST com specializes in presenting you with a
myriad of different PSD downloads most of which are free for you to use the
third entry in today's video is the first game on the list today you might
have seen it before but quickly to explain it's a fun way to improve your
skills with the pen tool and actually functions just like the pen tool
illustrator and it's a really cool way to brush up on your skills they also
recently added some new levels too so check it out guys fourth must-have
freebie for any designer is another fun way to learn this time with typography
so the idea here is to pick a font and then set that font up on a date that is
successful so you want to get a good match basically for example I'm gonna
choose ITC century to set up with the potential dates firstly you need to
select how you want to choose a compatibility and I'm gonna go for
contrast between the fonts I think that's a great way to pair fonts for
your designs to go for something as contrasts
now right off the bat and using my awareness of typography design that I've
picked up over the years I can see that a first font which is a sans-serif thin
font how it happens to be future looks like it really paired nicely with the
century serif font so I'm gonna pick that one to pear before we get the final
results actually shows you here the various different styles of each font
and how they compare visually now this is an awesome information page which I
really do love but let's send them on a date and as you can see they're actually
a really good pair and illustrates why they're a good pair with all of the
information shown this is a fun way to learn more about typography and again
it's linked down the description box below so have you ever wondered how good
your eyes are when it comes to color well the fifth design resource and
today's video is gonna test just that the first and the last color square on
each row cannot be moved but you can actually slide and arrange the other
colors in between and you want them to ascend and descend in order of hue when
you do get your results the lower your school the better and as you can see
I've actually got a perfect score so give it a try and let me know what your
score is down in the comment section below the sixth edition on today's list
of freebies for designers is a link to a podcast by Debbie Millman she was one of
the first designers to launch such a podcast online and it still remains as
