home page of Blue Vertigo
Many designers develop a list of their favorite resources and tab them for quick reference. Certain sites are great for stock images, (like
IstockPhoto), there are great free resource sites (like
Dafont.com for free fonts), or even small utilities online like a
color wheel generator to help you choose complimentary colors for website design. You can spend a good deal of time developing a refining your list of favorites on your web browser but sometimes you just feel like parusing the web for great new images to use or different looking textures. One site I have run across that has provided me with numerous resources for graphics is
Blue Vertigo. This site has links full of stock photos, commercial photos, video footage, vector clipart, fonts, great corporate logos (when you need to hunt down a good vector copy of Visa/Master Card), sound files, Photoshop brushes,
Poser downloads, icons and other goodies. I like to go through and build up new resources to bookmark and believe me, this site has plenty to look and choose from. They even offer a newsletter that will keep you updated when new sites are posted. Some of the photo websites they show are a fresh search for me and allow me to place out of the ordinary images in my projects. Give this website a look and I'm sure you will realize the value of having Blue Vertigo listed among your favorites.
