Design Resources

Hullo, I've posted this on a few other websites. But it's such a great collection of free and legit design resources that I think everyone should have access to if they already don't.

ICONS

• http://icons8.com/ - 55,300 free icons. Yes, you've heard it. They're free and although it comes with some size and copyright restrictions, you can use them offline.
  
• https://iconpharm.com/ - 9,900 free icons. Do multiple edits to icons before downloading them, also useful for webdesigners as it has an html generator for the icons used.
  
• http://creativedo.co/FontAwesomePS - Fontawesome plugin right inside your photoshop, vector .svg format, I believe. You can resize these icons as much as you'll need to.
  
• http://www.flaticon.com/ - A really good web-based archive for icons.
  
• https://material.io/icons/ - A pretty nice collection of material design icons from google.
  
• https://thenounproject.com/ - A really rad collection of icon sets for all kinds of design.
  
• https://mariodelvalle.github.io/CaptainIconWeb/ - A single author created 350+ resizeable icons for your use.
  
  

PATTERNS

• https://www.toptal.com/designers/subtlepatterns/ - I honestly feel like hitting myself because I forgot to add this. It's an awesome site to get clean patterns from.
  
  

STOCK PHOTOS

• https://unsplash.com/ - Unbelievably HD, beautiful, free photos that you can use.
  
• https://stocksnap.io/ - A nice collection of HD stock photos all under CC0 license, which pretty much means you can do whatever the hell you want with it.
  
• http://nos.twnsnd.co/ - This one is really cool, it's basically a site dedicated to vintage-type photos, of course, you can use the stocks as well.
  
• https://pixabay.com/ - Don't you just love the CC0 license?
  
• https://www.foodiesfeed.com/ - YOOOO. DESIGN + FOOD. No seriously, this is a lot like food porn. There's a lot of HD food goodies in here.
  
  

RENDERS

• http://www.renders-graphiques.fr/galerie.htm - Mostly anime-related renders, this website is actually pretty good although their english counterpart url is dead, the .fr one still works.
  
  
  

VECTORS

• http://www.freepik.com/ - Although technically they do have a limit of downloads per day, they have an unbelievable amount of free vectors you can utilize. They also have .psds, backgrounds, photos and icons.
  
• http://vecteezy.com/ - Also another free vector archive, though a little more limited than freepik.
  
  

INSPIRATION

• https://webcreme.com - Design inspiration for the mock-up idea hungry designers.
  
• http://littlebigdetails.com/ - For your daily dose of design inspiration.
  
• https://niice.co/ - Just a lot of designs for every category you may be able to think of.
  
  

COLORS

• https://webkul.github.io/coolhue/ - Another resource to grab ideas of cool gradient combinations from.
  
• https://www.grabient.com/ - Grab a gradient, grabient. Get it? No?... Okay...
  
• http://www.sankk.in/material-mixer/ - Quite useful for mixing and matching colours for material design, ui/ux. A good tool for both designers and webdevs.
  
• http://paletton.com/ - If you were running out of ideas for color combinations, this one really can save you.
  
  

FONTS

• https://fonts.google.com/ - Honestly if you didn't know you could get amazing free fonts from this website, I'm sort of judging you a little.
  
• http://www.dafont.com/ - ALL DA FREE FONTS. See what I did there?
  
  

RESOURCE PACKS/WEBSITES

• https://designbundles.net/free-design-resources - Basically a collection of random resource packs, anything from fonts, logos, psds, vectors, etc.
  
• https://freebiesbug.com/ - A site pretty much dedicated to giving out free design resources.
  
• http://flypixel.com/ - Has a lot of free design mock-ups and flat designs.
  
• http://graphicburger.com/ - A lot like freebiesbug and flypixel.
  
• http://dbfreebies.co/ - A lot of the freebies from dribble and behance categorized into one website.
  
  

MISC.

• https://vgy.me - I personally use this imageuploader, it's lovely and all around neat.
  
• https://uploadfiles.io/ - I personally use this file uploader to upload heavy files such as .psds for clients, it automatically deletes your files in 30 days so it's a neat feature I like.
  
• https://placeit.net/ - It's a pretty cool website to place/edit any type of image into someone's hand using mobile devices.
