What’s nice about the internet is that there are so many sites out there that offer free resources for design. The thing is that sometimes they can’t be used for commercial purposes or maybe require credit to be given each time you use the download, which is a problem if you happen to be a business owner or the coolest web design place in the U.P. So, I present to you three amazing resources that you can use both for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
The freebie: textures, vector art, photoshop/illustrator brushes, fonts, a community of people who like art and web design
The site: BittBox
The catch: none
The freebie: stock images
The site: SXC
The catch: Follow the rules here – http://www.sxc.hu/help/7_2, and also pay attention to the “Availability” box on the page of each image.
The freebie: fonts
The site: Font Squirrel
The catch: All of the fonts should be free to use for commercial purposes, but read the license on each font before you use them to make sure.
