Design Resource Sites that All Designers Need to Use
We, as designers, all need to call upon some pre-made assets at some point; be they vectors, stock photography, templates or anything else. It can be hard to know where to find the best, free assets available, so I’ve put together this list of the repositories that I regularly use!
Pikbest
Pikbest is THE place to go if you’re looking for high-quality design templates. These are amazing ways of rapidly putting together prototypes for projects! Pikbest has a broad range of template styles and options, including flyers, posters, PowerPoint presentations and more.
Vexels
Pretty much every design project is going to need to call upon vector illustrations at some point. Vexels is packed full of vectors (some free, some paid) perfect for any project you may be working on.
Pexels
I personally use Pexels all the time! If you’re looking for extremely high-quality stock photography, that’s free to use for personal AND commercial purposes, Pexels is the site for you! New images are always been added, so there’s plenty to choose from in this ever-growing collection.
Noun Project
The Noun Project is a repository of high-quality icons that can be used in a plethora of projects. From web and app design, to posters and flyers, the icons found in the Noun Project are extremely versatile, simple and visually interesting!
Google Fonts
Google Fonts is a vast collection of free to use fonts in a wide range of styles. Something incredible about Google Fonts is the advanced set of filtering tools. You’re able to adjust sliders for a whole range of parameters, allowing you to find the perfect typeface for your project.
