Resource: Lost and Taken - New Free Texture Site
We all love textures, right? I was recently emailed by a BittBox reader about a new texture site, LostAndTaken.com. It’s a blog style site and definitely worth bookmarking. All of the textures I downloaded for testing were a massive 3072 x 2048px, so I’m guessing the author has a pretty darn kick-ass camera. Oh yeah, and all of the textures are copyright-free and can be used for personal as well as commercial purposes.

Design Resources Search Engine
I stumbled onto a ‘Design Resources Search Engine‘ the other day somehow, and wanted to tell everyone about it. It’s basically a Custom Google Search Engine that only searches the best design blogs and sites out there, but it is quite handy if you like to find freebies, as I know a lot of you all do. Jump on over and give it a try. you might just find what you’re looking for. Also, if you look at the complete list of sites and you know of a good site to add to the list, you can suggest a site. Just click on the blog link at the bottom of the page and use the contact form in the footer.
Resource: Best Brands of the World
Have you ever been frustrated when you ask a client for a high-res logo and they keep sending you thumbnails? A lot of you have probably been in a situation where you could really use a vector logo, and your client can’t deliver.
Best Brands of the World (brandsoftheworld.com) is an online treasure trove of vector logos. There you’ll find thousands of logos for big name companies and small ones alike. There are even logo variations for the big brands. In other words, you might even be able to find event-specific logos, and specialty logos.
All of the logos you find at brandsoftheworld.com are free and come in EPS format. So, the next time your doing an event poster sponsored by Pepsi, you don’t have to rely on the client for the Pepsi logo, however, it’s always wise to get the logo approved before using it.
