EVERYTHING A DESIGNER NEEDS
This is a collection of links that I have gathered in time and want to share with everyone so you can:
-know what sites are popular and known in the design community,
-tutorials to help you grow your skills,
-inspiration to increase your eye for art,
-portfolios to look up to,
-brush/vector/texture/image sources to increase your design arsenal,
-articles to read that are useful and informative on design and knowing vital techniques / information,
-and round ups for quick references to tutorial sources and inspirations.
This is post will widen your design skills, view and knowledge in design become stronger! All these links are basically almost all the sites known in the design community and what I have collected till now. Design is always changing and newer articles, tutorials and resources are always being published, so check out the “MY RECOMMENDATIONS” for my opinion on what sites are the VERY BEST to visit daily to keep up with time and change. (btw, sorry for some fragments and repeated words in the descriptions).
The post was very big, so I uploaded it to my site to view easier, but here is what it consist of:
