Free Vectors — Social Networking Icons (10 Colors/2 Styles)
Included are 21 social networking icons, in 2 different styles, with 10 color variations total. So in short, it’s a lot of icons! One of the styles is more glossy/gradient-y, and one of the styles is flat. Also, the download includes both CS & CS3 files.
Today, I am releasing one of my favorite sets of brushes to date; a set of 40 high resolution Photoshop brushes for creating streaks of light. It seems like each set of light effect brushes I make get better and better. This set is really amazing and I hope that you enjoy them!
A set of 5 bright and colorful high resolution bokeh textures.
This abstract render pack comes filled with 33 images of 3D abstract renders. All the images are in PNG format with transparent backgrounds. For the adventurers out there, we have also included two of the 3ds Max files that this pack was created with!
There are 108 simple icons included in this set. The icons are avaliable in 32×32 px .png (transparent background) format.
A collection of over a 100 letter pressed icons, in various letter pressed styles exclusive to Creative Nerds readers. The icons include three PSD files which are full of icons which you can drag and drop into your designs.
Tape is often used to hold things together or fix broken items. That being said, I don’t think these brushes will fix a bad design, but they will surely add a nice touch to hand drawn styles and anything else you find them useful for. Each brush measures around 2500 pixels.
This cheat sheet is essentially a simple visual grid that contains a list of all HTML tags and of their related attributes supported by HTML 5. The simple visual style I used to design this sheet allows you to find at a glance everything you are looking for.
Here are 5 high quality icons of boxes/cartons that you can use to announce the launch of a new application or on your portfolio websites. There is plenty of space to add your own flavor to the graphics like your name, important dates, blog names, app names etc.

A free package containing 12 sweet panda animals, 128×128 pixels each, that have social network marks on their stomach. You’ll get 12 .png files and 1 vector (.ai) file in case you need to rescale them (in Adobe Illustrator format).
Sketching & Wireframing kit is a free set of elements for sketching and wireframing. It consist of form elements, icons, indicators, feedback messages, tooltips, navigation elements, image placeholders, embedded videos, sliders and common ad banners.
A large set of high resolution stained brown paper textures.
This set of 11 Free Scaffolding Grunge Vectors was specifically created with large print designs in mind, but they can be used in web projects too. It’s a common technique to slightly destroy large type in ads and other print campaigns.

In most areas of business, and particularly in the field of design, a well designed business card can be as important as your online identity. There is no question that a business card very often will create a bond between you and your customers that is long lasting. Leaving behind just the right card will keep you on their radar and get the attention of your target.
Until recently most people did not look at business cards as interactive elements that can be made of different materials, textures and shapes, going far beyond what most people consider as standard practice. Today, lets take a look at 50 extremely creative and original business cards and design tutorials that really help push the boundaries and show the extent some people go to set themselves apart in this competitive marketplace.
