I've been a self employed graphic designer for over 10 years now and finding new places to source free and paid resources can be hard. Sometimes they're ridiculously expensive and sometimes the quality is terrible. Here is a breakdown of my top 4 (free sign up) sites that that I personally use to grow my extensive collection of graphics and elements!
1. FreepikFreepik is a brilliant site for both free and premium graphics (you can even search just for free items which is great!) They have near anything you can think of and can be saved as PSD & AI files that make them perfect for editing in adobe illustrator! It's one of my top go to sites that I visit daily.
2. Design BundlesI use Design Bundles every month when they have their famous $1 deals! They have multiple resources on sale for just $1 which is brilliant. It's the perfect way to start your design jorney if you're low on money and want to grab some items you can use!
3.The Hungry JPEGThis site also has $1 deals but they change out monthly rather then only being available for 24 hours like Design Bundle. Another perfect place to pick up some bargain graphics.
4. Creative MarketI used to use Creative Market a LOT when I first started out but is actually the last place I try when looking for something specific now as it's a fair bit more expensive then the others and may be the same graphics. Having said that they are a brilliant website for fonts so if you need something very particular for a project it's a great place to start.
