Top 10 Resources

Whether I’m looking for inspiration, imagery, or tutorials like most of us I hit the web for my search. I always love to hear of a new resource from other designers. That’s why I have put a list of my favs right here. (no particular order)

1: Vecteezy.com
Free vector art library that is constantly growing. Since I do a lot of my work in illustrator this is a must have.

2: iStockphoto.com
Not a secret and not hard to find if you are searching for stock photos, but this is my go to site when I need a good photo.

3: LogoPond.com
Great for inspiration when I need to spark some ideas for logos.

4: OvernightPrints.com
I’ve good experience with this company. Great looking product at a nice price.

5: BestWebGallery.com
Another great inspiration hotspot. There are lots of gallery sites, but I just like this one.

6: VideoCopilot.com
This guy is an After Effects genius. They have great products and tutorials!!

7: WordPress.org
Great CMS that is great for anysite, not just blogs. I’ve used Drupal & Joomla and each have there benefits, but wordpress seems to be the easiest to work with and to show clients how to use.

8: ComputerArts
Great Magazine site with free tutorials on a variety of subjects.

9: Urbanfonts.com
If I need a new font this is where I go. I like the way the fonts are displayed and categorized. I can also type in a word or phrase and see it displayed in the fonts, great for finding the right font for a logo.

10: Envato.com
This network of sites offers templates for web, video, images, flash, etc.
