11 Unheard Graphic Design resources that I instantly bookmarked
I compiled a list of eleven new and constructive design resources for you to design better, faster, and cheaper.
It’s no secret that being a graphic designer means taking up the challenging task of visually communicating the brand’s message. To meet your client’s expectations, this role requires you to don multiple hats of being a researcher, visual storyteller, and designer.
During the research, most of your work involves leveraging pre-existing assets, such as fonts, photos, mockups, icons, and more, to draft initial concepts and bring your ideas to life quickly. And having a good eye for selecting appropriate assets is half the differentiation between good and great designs.
More importantly, design resources let you focus your attention and creativity on more challenging aspects of a project. Not to mention how hard it would be to estimate the time a project would take to complete if we had to create each asset from the start.
Hand-to-god, they’ve always proved to be a blessing for me.
But out of hundreds of quality resources available on the internet, how can you tell which resources are worth your time and money? For this reason alone, I compiled this list of resources that I find particularly helpful to save you some time and needless web wandering.
