I have been designing for many years and have always run into the need for HighRes images for my projects. I used to use free downloads of stock images as placeholders until I was able to find the photo that I really wanted or would go and take one to replace it. I also used to get photos from great photography friends of mine again as placeholders unless they gave me permission to use for personal projects.
Then a few years ago I found out about Unsplash, and immediately started using every photo I could for my projects. In fact, I would share their site with every designer, friend, pastor, leader that I would run into.
I am actually surprised by the number of people I run into that have not heard of Unsplash.
The internet’s source of freely useable images. Powered by creators everywhere.
I love the diversity of the images and they are great for any project you might have. I have used these images for professional work as well as personal. So wether you are looking for some filler images for a mock up or permanent images that will live on the web, print, or anything you can think of, Unsplash is a great resource.
They have integrated these images into a lot of different app, as well as many great web builders. Unsplash has been growing in the number of photographers as well as the number of photos. I just noticed, while browsing the site the other day, that they are experimenting with 3d renders as well.
So let me know if the comments below, do you use Unsplash, if so what for? Also, do you know of other great resources we are missing out on for our creative projects?
