Another nice font release from Gyom over at Last Soundtrack has hit the web. I’m a loyal fan of Gyom because he consistently releases great fonts, and all he requires for a commercial (full) license is a donation in the amount of your choosing! To me, Birth of a Hero seems to be geometric and grungy at the same time, which could prove quite useful in certain applications. See what you think, and maybe download it and keep it in the bag for later.
Its that time again. Illustrator Brushes! You might recognize a few of these from this free vector set. These are some foliage Illustrator brushes I used to make the that set of freebies, along with a lot of new ones. So, theoretically, you could take these brushes and make your own set of free foliage vectors. The possibilities are endless with this set because I also included the simpler brushes that the more complex ones are comprised of. I also included AI, SVG, and EPS, for InkScape users, or anyone else who doesn’t use Illustrator. Don’t forget to play with your stroke size to get your most desired results! Download below.
Designfruit is a great little website with some very high quality (hi-res) Photoshop brushes and vector art available. The brushes are free and the vectors are 12.99 US. If you haven’t had the pleasure of stumbling upon this site before, It’s definitely worth a stopping by. You’ve probably seen some of these brushes before, and might not even know it yet.
I had fun making these. I’m constantly trying to push my Illustrator skills to the limit, so I was experimenting, and I came up with this set of freebies in the process. I don’t even know what to call these free vectors. Swirls, ornaments, swooshes, I don’t know. Call them what you want, but I hope you like them. Download AI, EPS, or SVG.
Photoshoppers, this little freebie can save you hours if you create buttons or bars for web layouts on a regular basis. Dezinerfolio.com has done all the hard work for us already. All you have to do is download and install the file, and start making Web 2.0 buttons in seconds using the layer styles in Photoshop.
These free vectors are part 8 of the ongoing ‘Random Free Vectors’ series here on BittBox. I call them “modern arrows,” but you may call them something different. I’ve seen these types of shapes being used in a lot of illustration in the past couple years, so I sat down for an evening and created some to share. I hope you find them useful! Remember you can post your designs in the BittBox User Showcase group @ Flickr to show us how you put them to use! Files are available in AI, EPS, and SVG.
**New to BittBox** the Showcase section. No, this isn’t a showcase for MY work, I’m showing off YOUR work. BittBox will choose one artist each month from the BittBox User Showcase Group at Flickr to be featured on BittBox with 5-10 works, along with a short interview. This is just one more way BittBox is trying to help designers/artists and the design community in general. By funneling traffic to individual artists and showcasing their designs, we not only get some KILLER INSPIRATION, but the artists get exposure at the same time. Good luck, and say hello to our first artist: Michael Brito.
