Dr. Design’s Definitive Design Links List

Font Sites

Typography is a critical element of design. But there are a lot of fonts out there — where will you ever find the time to weed the cool sites from the dregs?

We’ve done it for you! Our Community members have put together this definitive list of the sites they use and love. The sites allow downloads, offer font-related tools, and more!

Cheap Stock Photography

Slick imagery can make or break a design. If you’re on a tight budget, but have a little cash to splash, give these affordable stock photo sites a try.

For cheap stock illustration as well as photos, try www.artbitz.com.

Free Stock Photography

Design on a shoestring often leaves no budget for images. The solution? These stock photo sites (rated out of 5 stars by our very own Community members).
