Resources are a designers best friend. They help you save time in your daily workflow and provide inspiration for projects, there are a huge plethora of resources on the web for designers, from pixel perfect Photoshop web elements to super cute icons and grungy high resolution textures and brushes.
Here at MediaLoot, there’s nothing we love more than a well made, super-useful design resource. Whether it’s for artists, graphic designers or the web, and we like to think that we provide our fair share of those resources for our lovely members too!
This roundup is designed to be a collection of some of the most popular resources and hidden gems that the web has to offer for designers, all organized in a way that makes it easy to find what exactly you’re looking for!
And we begin with the designer’s best friend, icons! Icon's are great because they communicate without using words, expert icon designers study semiotics in order to create small images that are recognizable as having some sort of meaning or connection to an object, action, word etc. In this section we have selected a handful of mini icons, detailed, social media and web font icons.
The 'user interface' or 'user experience' for designer's is exactly it implies, it is the experience the users of their products will have and how they will interact with, a sharp, well designed UI Kit can really help to improve the experience that you give to your end users, or just speed it up a bit!
Everybody loves a good Photoshop resource. So here are a collection of useful PSD files that you might find you can use time and time again. Some of them are re-usable web elements for things like shadows and horizontal rules and some can be used to mock-up how your designs would look as physical products.

Instead we have tried to highlight a few unique resources, that you might not have known of before.
