21 Free Tools for Your Next Design Project
Make your work more visually appealing with these free tools for your next design project. This is a nicely curated list of sources you can use like web sites, publications or products.
While the list is geared towards web site creation, the tools are still useful – the stock photo list, icons and color resources can be widely used. The tools fall into four categories: stock photos, font tools, icons, and color palettes.
The one thing I found frustrating about the list is that the links to all the tools go a listing on Product Hunt, thus you have to click to get to the item on Product Hunt and from there click on the link to go to the site. I like Product Hunt but I don’t want to do that much clicking and waiting for pages to load. I figured you might not either so here are direct links to all the tools listed in the article. 🙂
