Attention Designers! Get ready to hit CTRL + D—or Apple + D, depending on your OS preference. We’ve found a site that puts a ton of resources at your disposal.
Freebies & Press offers everything from Brushes to Textures to Vectors. The best part? They’re all free! These guys scour the net for the all the free tools a designer could ask for and continue to update their site as they find more.
No web or graphic designer should be without this valuable resource. There are tons of sites out there that have free stuff and this one acts as the hub, bringing it all together to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for and all in one place.
Cheers! And happy designing!
It’s a beautiful day in NYC and we can’t think of a better way to transition into our Friday night than by taking in some art and culture. As part of Free Fridays we are going to let you in on a little secret: Between 4pm and 8pm, admission to the Museum of Modern Art is FREE! There’s no catch either, all galleries, exhibitions and films are accessible with your Free Friday Night Pass. Don’t forget to bring the kids too! Children under 16 are always free at the MoMA.
We’d also advise showing up early because when you say, ‘Free’ in New York City people tend to swarm. Not only are we hooking you up with this valuable tip but we’d also like to let you know that you can explore the exhibits of the MoMA as well as other museums via The Google Art Project. This is a really cool digital way to view your favorite works.
If you’re like us and love everything digital, try out the free mobile apps available for your Android, iPhone, or iPad devices. They too let you explore the museum digitally, browse works, and even plan a trip. We here at Squeaky wish you a happy, restful and culture-filled weekend. Cheers!
Woo hoo! It’s Friday and that means it’s time to get something for FREE! We’ve scoured the web in search of free stuff—that isn’t completely lame—and amongst our findings was a huge collection (1,000+) of icons that can be used for everything from developing mobile apps to freshening up a new web project. This collection by Yummygum, dubbed: IconSweets 2 comes ready-to-use in a vector-shaped Photoshop format.
Here at Squeaky, our business is digital and we understand the tedious, time consuming nature of developing something such as icons one by one for your projects. This set could save you tons of time in developing your latest project as well as make it look spectacular. Cheers!
Who doesn’t love free music? We know we do. Music is inherently soothing and allows us to be at ease with the world. Even the worst day can be turned around just by kicking back and listening to your favorite artist. Here at the Squeaky Loft we are actually encouraged to play our own taste of music. There are typically no complaints or hatred toward any particular genre as our tastes tend to be rather eclectic and open-minded. From Antoine Dodson to Jazz, we are always jamming out to something and it tends to boost morale and create friendly conversations among our music-loving selves.
For a huge collection of free streaming music check out Fizy.com. It’s a great source for any type of music even hard to find classics. What do you enjoy listening to while you work?
When you think about graphic design, a few things come to mind: image, layout, color, style, inspiration and most importantly, the font. The font in any design should embody the tone, intent, and flow between each characteristic in the said design. A great font can make your design stand out above the rest. So in light of free Fridays, we have decided to provide you with the best free resources out there for fonts.
Urban Fonts
Urban Fonts is a great resource for more non-standard fonts. The easy and clean interface makes it easy to download and use immediately whether you’re a novice or a pro.
DaFont
DaFont is the Mecca for fonts. With over 11,000 free fonts available for download, you could theoretically use a different font every day for 30 years. We wouldn’t advise such a thing but hey it’s just an idea.
Fonts.com
For those who are more interested in website development, Fonts.com has a vast library of web-friendly fonts. Membership costs nothing and gives you access to over 3,000 free fonts. If you decide you want to splurge, $10 a month gets you access to over 8,000 beautiful fonts.
