Free All-in-One Graphic Design Starter Kit
Graphic design has an amazing community. Comprised of both the vets from the pre-computer era to the newbies who were raised on the internet and computer-editing applications, there is a huge gamut of people sharing their work and expertise online. I know when I was starting out in design, I found tons of inspiration and information from sites like JustCreativeDesign, DesignNewz, and more. If there’s one issue, however, it’s that there’s almost too much great information out there. I know – good problem to have, right? But for those designers just starting out, or for those designers who are considering getting into design, the amount of information can be a little overwhelming. This “kit” was originally intended to be a zipped file containing all of the links below; however, it clocked in at about half a gigabyte, which I thought most people wouldn’t want to sit and download (plus it would put a strain on our hosting).

13 iPhone Apps for Graphic Designers
If you’ve found a greater purpose for your iPhone besides calling or Googling directions, then you’d probably like to explore what your iPhone can offer you in the realm of graphic design. I’ve compiled a collection of the most useful 13 iPhone apps for graphic designers that I’ve come across. Each contributes and offers a unique ability to aid you on your journey through graphic design. We’ll be taking a look at applications that help with task management, enhance photos, sketching and a whole lot more. As usual, feel free to add your comments below and let us know which ones you like best and which ones you use. 1. Palettes is a great app that allows you to create color schemes. 2. OmniFocus: Because task management is important for any graphic designer (despite the unhealthy managing many of us take part in), I’ve decided to include OmniFocus, a standalone application or a conjuncture app that syncs to your Mac. 3. 4. 5. 6. ZeptoPad is a sketch pad tool for your iPhone. 7. 8. iBlueSky
Creatively Designed Typographic Posters Of NYC & Other Cities
Design by Aida The creative project 'Show Us Your Type' has different designers submitting typographic illustrations of different cities. Curated by the collective NEUE, each edition focuses on a city, and designers who wish to participate can upload a poster on the website. Some editions even have themes—for example, the posters that represent Tokyo took on the form of GIFs. Apart from world famous cities, the project also features more neglected ones like Cairo, Beirut, and Melbourne. Like the nature of the project, designers from all around the world are showcased as well. While some designers chose to showcase the iconic aspects of these cities—The Statue of Liberty comes to mind—others chose to bring out the different cultures of each city, showing how vibrant they truly are. View some of our favorites below.
