As a bunch of people who celebrate creativity, we know how awesome it is when inspiration strikes! That feeling when you get hit by an idea that just opens up a path that leads to more ideas is priceless. Picture those tendrils of inspirational ideas colliding with your brain and sending sparks dancing across your vision. Yup, went a little too far on the metaphors there. Not everyone really gets creative like that, unless you’re high on something. Which isn’t always bad 😉 All things considered, being a creative individual without the right tools to work with isn’t always the easiest. We care about continuously staying productive. What better than some free design resources to help make our creative lives a little more smooth sailing?
Here Are Our Top 5 Free Creative Resources:
#1: Pixlr
Easily modify and retouch your photography and other images using Pixlr, a free online photo editing software. All you have to do is sign up for an account with Pixlr, and you’re set! As a pretty sweet alternative to Photoshop, you can experiment with the program’s features to create the desired effects on your images. Choose from their endless categories of pre-made PSD templates to give you an idea of what to create next. You can also edit your images on the go with your mobile device when you download Pixlr’s app. If you find the free version too basic for your professional needs, why not try out the premium version, Pixlr Pro?
#2: Vectr
Download and edit your 2D graphics using Vectr, a free creative program that allows you to design and edit freely, very much like Illustrator. They also have a quick guide on their webpage that will help you get accustomed to the program in no time. Use Vectr to create graphics for business cards, greeting cards, icons, websites, illustrations, logos, resumes, brochures, posters, presentations, and so much more. The sky’s the limit, as they say!
