Resources are the most valuable assets to a graphic designer. Vectors, stock images, fonts, etc. all play an instrumental role in the creative process. If you’re like me, an amateur, you’ll have a hard time actually making the groundwork to build up on with your design projects. Using the work of other people, you can edit and manipulate and mix and match until you get what you were envisioning. Below are a list of valuable resources that you may not have heard of. Some are paid and some are free or a mix of both.
