If You are creating and developing new web-sites regularly, You should think about template creation, collecting useful code snippets and things like that.

However this is very generalize list for now, to clear out the best from the best sites. Use them well!

Since previous graphic design related article turned out to be really popular, I decided to do similar article about web-design related resources. In this list You’ll find many free icons, psd files in good quality, Photoshop layer styles for easier icon creation and many websites specialized to deliver good quality freebie related content. You could say, it’s better to create icons Yourself, but I think there is no sense to create something that’s already there available for free, however if there isn’t something, this is only way to know it. Also yes, here is many *.psd files, so You have a chance also to see how really these icons are created and learn something. At least I think it’s worth bookmarking!

I’m learning more each time. Hope you like the demo :)

I’ve got another high resolution Photoshop brush set for everyone’s downloading pleasure! I call these “Destroyed Heraldry,” and they were super fun to make. All of them are super-hi-res (most are 2500px). I spent a lot of time on each one individually, and they are a combnation of over 3 different types of media, and multiple layering effects to get to the end result. Unlike before, I’ve got CS1, CS2, CS3, and CS4 versions available for download, as well as hi-res PNG’s for non-Photoshoppers. Feel free to leave me some feedback in the comments!

I have always been fascinated with lens flares. Recently, I started using Knoll Light Factory, an amazing Photoshop plug-in used to create all sorts of realistic-looking lens flare effects. Prior to Knoll Light Factory, I had to create lens flares on my own or, god forbid, use Photoshop's default lens flare plug-in. After playing around with it for a little while I decided to create a set of high resolution lens flare brushes for Photoshop to give away to you guys.
