The design industry, especially the one related to web design is a wonderful place to work in…if you see it from the outside. Many clients are saying that a web designer’s work is similar to an artist’s life: he can freely create amazing things from scratch, he can work from anywhere and he can choose his tasks however he wants. This is not quite true: being a web designer means that you must have a lot of skills starting from technical knowledge, social abilities and the right resources, preferably free stuff such as free vectors, free .psd, free UI elements and so forth.

A web designer will always have to innovate; he is in a constant battle with his competitors because usually the client chooses you, so you don’t have the luxury to say no to every project that you find difficult to work on. Sure, this happens mostly if you are a freelancer.

As I said, a web designer must be extremely efficient therefore he needs to know where he can find the resources suitable for any of his project. For example, if he’s in a hurry and he needs to quickly draw a mockup, he can use existing UI elements in order to quickly finish the design. Furthermore, if he needs to create a logo but this is not his strong point, he can start with a logo template.

Thankfully the internet is filled with free or paid resources for designers but searching for them may require a lot of time; even more, what happens if you suddenly lose your internet access? This way you always need to have a designer toolbox packed with every graphic element, tutorial, .psd, .eps or any other file ready to be used.

In this article I wanted to give you a free graphic pack filled with a lot of extremely good and free design resources which you can use in your projects. All of these graphic elements are collected from freepik.com, a great search engine in which you can find free resources such as logo templates, vectors, ui elements, .psd files and much more.

The year is 2150. All the countries have united into a global state that now encompasses the two underwater ones as well. There is no ruling system but a meritocracy and the only currency is fame. For everything positive an individual does they are rewarded a certain amount, based on how much their product helps others with that they do, and it is enough to maintain a high living standard. Ergo everything created is free to use by everyone because subsequent works based on the original would bring the author more fame. It’s an idyllic society, with all the population working together in a tight knit community, trying to better global standards.

The year is 2013. The currencies are many, used to purchase anything and all. People have to work long and hard hours in order to obtain money and try to spend as little as possible in the process. This is where Freepik.com busts through the saloon doors of the stock photo and vectors market and makes its move towards the brighter future described above. It wasn’t a sales pitch, this is actually what sprang to mind when finding the concept behind the website.

Resembling Google in what it does with its flagship search engine, it has a couple of very interesting characteristics that make it unique. Firstly, it delivers on what it promises, namely the option to download free vectors and stock photography at a more than decent quality. Secondly, it saves a lot of time and effort by compiling the above in a database, sorted in 11 categories for photos and 28 for vectors where the search can be narrowed down from. So far it has over 1.4 million files indexed and boasts some 80.7 million downloads made through it and that ratio pretty much says it all when it comes down to the nitty-gritty.

The same people who came up with the idea of offering free resources turned their view to another very important thing that designers have to use, namely CSS tools with CSSmatic. It’s also free to use and set up so that gradients, noise texture, border radius and box shadows can all be created or changed in the same place. And why not make a 4 in 1 tool when the alternative is to fire up at least two pieces of software that do the same thing? Furthermore, as a web developer, if you liked it you can also contribute or suggest changes that you think would do the tool some good.

Some days are just better than others and in this field it’s the ones when you get a win. Both Freepik and CSSmatic are just this and will shave off valuable time and money that would have otherwise been spent just to reach the same outcome: a good project. Here are a few examples of what you can find:
