Free Textures!

If you love textures as much as I do then this is the website for you! And its not just plain old textures, there are many many photos in there that can be used as well. And they are free to use if you register, which I have yet to do. My teacher showed this to me and so far, its much more accessible than Getty Images, and you can be sure you have the rights to use it.
I love love the industrial and architectural images. There are many old houses, buildings, doors, and mechanical images. So far I have only used the cracked texture (see below) for some background on story boards. But I can forsee using some of the industrial images in my recycling and sustainable ads.

After 3 hours of failed image galleries: David Walsh PHP and GreyBox

I am thinking this one might work and be easy to use - gasp!

logo of the day

We have been concentrating on logo design in my multimedia class. I love the simplicity of creating an entire saying or company recognition in one image.
Here is a site with new logos every day - for some inspiration:
