I've actually stumbled across say a new website or at least it's new for me and
I'm gonna share with you guys why it's been so useful to my workflow recently
and how you can benefit from everything in today's graphic design resource
website there are various different websites just like this one and I've
shown many of those in previous videos but today's website does have a lot
going for it and you're gonna know exactly why so welcome to unblessed comm
I'm gonna get into all of the features in today's video but first I want you to
notice that next to each of the digital downloads you can see an icon for
example Photoshop or illustrator and this lets you know what application the
download is best suited for and the first category we're gonna look at today
is mock-ups and this is how I stumbled across um blast comm in the first place
you will notice the black boxes to the left-hand side and these are the sub
categories for mock-ups and this website does have a lot of free content and it's
of a really high quality which is the main selling point in my opinion for
making today's video so let's go ahead and give one of these sub categories at
click and let's have a look at their smartphone mock-ups on offer here there
was a nice selection and you can of course use this search bar for some
refined results and like I said I did find this website initially by just
searching google for mock-ups but in doing so I also found out they had fonts
on here as well and if you like me you've probably gonna find it pretty
hard to turn down quality free fonts and one really neat feature of on blast is
that they have a displayed thumbnails of the font in practical uses some really
nice artwork for you to ogle over whilst looking at these ones
now it isn't the hugest selection of fonts to download on websites but what
is here is really high quality and there are of course subcategories as well when
you do download things from this website the vast majority of the time you'll be
directed away from an blast com now you might have to give an email
address to actually retrieve the download but my work around here is just
to make a dummy email account purposely for just downloading things from the
internet and this is so you can avoid spam advertising later down the line
so let's move on to the next thing or the next appealing thing about on
blast and there's a pretty large and a pretty quality selection of icons again
you can use the search bar or you can have a look a with the subcategories but
for those of you out there who do work on projects that require a lot of icons
being used so maybe an infographics for example and blast has a nice selection
for you to look over and that's what these websites are all about in my
opinion it's not about just using one or two resource websites
it's about bookmarking the best ones so you have a large scope for design
resources now if you are someone who needs templates there are also templates
on this website it's not something I personally use I don't ever use
templates for a design client and so in this instance here you can see a
business card templates I would of course always design a business card
from scratch but if you do need templates for whatever reason they are
here to use something you don't often find on these kind of websites is having
access to 3d models but on blast does have a selection of 3d models for you to
look at to use and to venture into 3d projects but moving on to possibly one
of the most important features for some of you out there and that is you can be
hired by a on blast comm they're looking to hire people to provide content for
their website and I actually don't know how much they charge and it might be
worth just dropping them an email and applying for this opportunity so if you
think you can recreate the high quality standard they have and you do have a
portfolio or some kind of proof of work do drop them a line and see if you can
get hired to designs some stuff for them and if you want to learn about more free
graphic design resources just click one of the videos on screen now do take care
and of course until next time guys design your future today peace
you
