I’ve been fishing into the web, let me show you the squids

Free resources

  1. FEEL Resources has got a good number of high-quality textures and brushes. How many uses do you see for such a beauty? The website itself also has a neat design - I like how the previews are organized.
  2. So I was looking for interesting photo textures to use in Advanced Blanket’s layout and well, I came across CG Textures. they’ve got some HUGE stuff. Texture Warehouse is also nice.
  3. If you’re specifically looking for rust, metal etc., check Grunge Textures and Urban Dirty.
  4. Mayang’s Free Textures kick some serious ass. This photographer deserves a LOT of credit. I’m not kidding.

Webdesign

  1. A very interesting read: Web Designer Wall. That’s what I call blogging about webdesign, man.
  2. Looking for something to feed my inner web typography geek, I came across this article. Web designers tend to not pay enough attention to typography and it’s always nice to see people who actually care.
  3. While we’re at it, Flipping Typical allows you to have a look at all of your popular fonts simultaneously.

Inspiration and beauty

  1. Most of the web uses light background with dark text. I tend to like quite the opposite. Guess what Light on Dark showcases?
  2. GraphicHug is a place for everything beautifully designed. I spent the whole day browsing it.
  3. Talking about beautiful designs, Peter Pearson’s portfolio is breathtaking. A true work of art.
  4. Stepping into the more artistic territory: Furiae showcases some impressive digital artworks. Think that for a while I thought they were edited photos.
  5. If you thought that art in Asia was all about manga and such, let me show how wrong you were.
  6. I usually don’t care about photography but Chema Madoz’s work is just brilliant.

people have way too much to say about art.
