Creative Market: resources for designers


Graphic designers, have you come across Creative Market yet? It's an online shop full of useful goodies.

Some examples from the store: textures for adding flavor to your images. Product mockups, like the vector iMac shown above ($2)— useful for showing off websites or desktop wallpapers. Also find fonts for sale, plus a selection of templates for everything from business cards to WordPress blogs. Personally I'm most interested in the Photoshop actions. Get automated processes that turn average photos interesting, like the 42-action set below ($10).

It's a good resource to keep in mind for projects, since there's lots of stuff that will save you time. Buy something for $5 that would take you three hours to make. Or if you've already spent those hours, consider selling your own digital products over there!

    I figure this will be useful to some folks. And everyone else's eyes will glaze over. :) Heh heh.

    yes! I just downloaded something yesterday. I love their stuff, and how reasonably priced it all is. They dont have as much variety as something like iStock, but I like the more personal/curated aspect.

    I came across ColourLovers.com several years ago, and found it an inspiring resource for color palettes. I've found several of their design graphics packages to be very reasonably priced. When I'm doing work for a website or blog, it's one of the first places I go for ideas.
