Graphic Design Freebies & Resources

If you are a webmaster or trying to be one, LOL here is a good freebie and resource website from Franz Jeitz called fudgegraphics. I gather that some of these freebies are from Franz himself, while some are sourced from other graphic design websites. Yes, there are many.

It’s enough to say that all those graphic and vector freebies offered here on fudgegraphics by Franz himself or other designers are of high quality and wouldn’t disappoint. Like other similar websites and blogs, fudgegraphics offers brushes, vectors, wallpapers, textures, backgrounds, icons, prints, photos, etc, in high resolution.

Check out what is available and check back often because the site is updated regularly with freebies.

Free Stock Photos

As webmasters and bloggers, we need a lot of photos. I do take my own photos but they seem not enough to go around all the time. Well, I have TWENTY blogs, you know?

But I guess that as with most websites that offer free photos or free stock photos, each time you use one of the photos from this website you are required to link to the site. Giving credit is normal.

Free Photos Bank has quite a huge database of free photos from nature to life to abstract. I spent quite some time going through the photos on the site but do not have an idea yet what to do with the photos. Check them out and see if you have better use for them.

Free Photographs

I came across Free Foto when I was actively digging the internet for images that I would like to use for my personal website. My friend told me that I would have to MAKE my own images. Since I don’t know how to make any, I thought I would grab a free image.

Let me tell you, I found a lot of site that provide free photographs, which I will also feature at a later date. Today, I am showcasing Free Foto. This site allows us to use their photographs for free for private or commercial use. It is very important to know beforehand conditions of use so as not to get into trouble later. So for Free Foto, we can use them as we like to use provided that we use them “as is” and provide a link back to Free Fotos. This is, of course, not a bad deal at all if you ask me!

However, if you want to use these photos for a really large commercial project, then you may want to get the watermark off your photos. That means you will have to pay for it :)

Get Paid For Your Media

If your blogs have been smacked like mine this past week, it’s time to look for other online money making revenues. You can, of course, start more blogs, but I already have more than ten and I am no longer interested in nurturing blogs. I need another avenue to showcase my creativity *ahem*

Actually, I was all ready to scour the internet for money making opportunities and in fact have found a handful but I am not that interested to invest time in those ventures. Coincidentally, I was told of a Fuuny Video and picture site that pays the owner $0.50 per thousand views. At first, I thought that this is a low rate but if you consider that there are 170,000 unique visitors to the website at http://www.flonker.com daily, then this $0.50 just adds up, provided you have a killer video or photo, of course!

According to Flonker, there are already more than 4500 people getting paid already. I won’t deny that one of the factors that make me hesitate about participating into online money making sites is their authenticity, the rate of revenue and the doubt if I would ever be paid. But if you check Flonker and its database of media, I believe that thousands of people can’t be wrong!

Now, I am going to dig out my camera and start clicking!
