About

Hi everyone. My name is Jay Hilgert. I’m a Designer, Blogger, Web Enthusiast, and an Apple Geek, This blog is my little corner of the web. I’m from Oklahoma, went to Oklahoma State University, moved to St. Louis for a while, now I operate out of Oklahoma City. My main job description would be a “Freebie Maker” if you had to describe what I spend most of my time doing. I like to give away only the best quality stuff to help designers everywhere. I also like to post workflow tips to help people work faster. These are the posts where everyone can chime in until we find the best way to do a certain task. I enjoy the community of professionals (and non-professionals) we’ve built here and I hope you find something useful while you’re here. Nice to meet you ;)

  1. Just found your site tonight and spent the last four hours mesmerized…this is wonderful thanks

  2. um, yeah! Ive had your site bookmarked for most of my design career over 6 years now. Just wanna say thanks for the all the great info and elements throughout your site. I just realized you were from Oklahoma. Thats great! I have many friends that attended and currently attend OSU as well. So from one okie to another thanks, and all the best!

  3. Nice blog. When have you funded this site? I made mine in 2010. I usually offer only tutorials but also great resources like yours but my site is not yet as known as yours. Maybe cause I only write about Photoshop. You’re the only author of this blog?

  4. Love your blog. I’m a beginner and use photoshop. I’ve made several vectors so I know a bit about them but I’m confused as to how to use the grunge vector files you’ve posted. I have downloaded them but they’re all on one file (as shown in the sample). Of course, I can individually select each object with the magic wand but it doesn’t retain it’s integrity when enlarged. I must be doing something wrong. Can you offer any help?

    Thanks!

  5. Hi Jay,

  10. followed a number of spurious design links to find your site , and what a kick to the imagination it is. Just wandering through your texture photostream on Flickr is inspirational.

  12. LOVE THIS SITE!!!!! THANK YOU!

    Here is one of the biggest database for logo on eps and ai format: http://www.logopub.net which I am also fun of it… designers need to collect and share experience for better future.

  14. Had to register just to say “thanks” for sharing the watercolor brushes. I did enjoy using them. You also have some wonderful textures.

  15. Hi~
    my name is Theresa, this is the first time here.
    I’m currently in school. I like how you give out “freebies”
    it really help a lot.
    I’m also doing volunteering works for some non-profit
    organizations. I’m wondering if your images are free
    for commercial use too?

    -Thanks again
    Theresa

  16. i from Thailand and just found your site.Your textures are wonderful! thank you.
    keep share a good things.

  17. love how simple but versatile the brushes are! Hopefully there will be another fb invite :)

  18. Jay, I need to create several swirly designs that actually overlap. I need designs for men and women both girly and gothic.

  19. Oh yes I forgot, the designs need to be of my own creation so I can sell them commercially. Please point me in the right direction so i can create them myself. Thank you

  20. I was browsing the web today and stumbled upon your site. All I can say is THANK YOU. And yes, I have, in fact, almost rear-ended someone because I was entranced by typeface on a billboard.
