The Best Free Resources For Designers & Creatives

I love a good freebie. Sometimes it takes some time and digging to find quality freebies. So today I'm sharing with you some of my favorite FREE resources for designers and creatives. 

The Best Free Resources For Designers & Creatives

Stock photos

Today, good photography is essential. Most stock photography sites are too expensive and filled with cheesy photos of people in suits and women laughing at salads. Ditch the cheesy stock photos and check out these two awesome sites for commercial free stock photos. Yep, totally free. 

1. Unsplash

Unsplash is my go-to for free stock photos. There are so many beautiful photos that look natural and real. It's a life-saver.

Pexels is my second favorite stock photo site. Lots of goods.

Mock-ups

Mockups are great for presenting designs to clients or even just for social media content. 

1. Graphic Burger

Graphic Burger is my favorite for free mock-ups. They also have other free goods including icons, backgrounds, and UI kits. 

2. Mockup World

More great mockups! 


Fonts

1. Font Squirrel

This site is awesome because all of their fonts are 100% commercial free! 

2. Da Font

This site has amazing fonts for free! But be sure to take note which are free for commercial use and which are free for personal use. 


Lightroom Presets

Looking to enhance your photos and stand out from the crowd? Using presets can help you out with that. They're the perfect tool to save time on retouching and great for creating a streamlined look across all of your photos. 

1. freelightroompresets.co

This site has 34 free Lightroom presets. I love that they make it super easy to download too.


Other Freebies

Creative Market

Creative Market is where I purchase most of my fonts, but the cool thing about them is they offer 6 free goods a week for being a member of the community. You can also get 6 more bonus goods by spending $15 in a two week span. These goods include fonts, patterns, graphics, brushes, mock-ups and more.
