Do you get excited about free stuff? I’m sure you know all about how the costs of running a business can add up. This is why I loving finding great free resources that I can use in my work. I’m going to share some of my favorite sites that I use for fonts, graphics and inspiration. I hope you’ll find them helpful, too. (These are not affiliate links.)
These partner sites offer a ton of free fonts, graphics, crafting tools, templates, you name it. They also have killer $1 sales a few times a year. Warning, I usually start with the freebies and end up with a full cart because there are so many cool things I just need to have in my stash.
This is one of my favorite free resources for commercial-use fonts. You might not find trendy brush lettering fonts — but you’re going to find some practical workhorse fonts that you can use in any of your business projects.
This website is addictive. You can add your own images and build a color palate. It will automatically pull the colors and even give you a few variations on the scheme. If you use Creative Cloud, you can save the colors to your library.
Dribble
I only recently came across Dribble, and it is where the cool kids hang out. It’s kind of like an Instagram for graphic designers where creatives share their work. It’s a great place to find inspiration. (You can check out this recent blog post to see how I use Canva as another resource for inspiration. Totally free, too!)
There are lots of free stock photo images sites, but Unsplash is my favorite. They just always seem to have what I’m looking for, and there are gabillions of gorgeous photos. (Or really fun ones like the dog image in the Adobe Color screenshot above.)
