I’m the queen of finding copyright-free art and photo resources to use.

And when I use the word, “free”, I mean art/photos/tools that have the Creative Commons license and don’t require you to even give attribution. You can even use their art/photos for your commercial projects. There are a lot of sources out there, unbelievably, but there are only a few I’ve found that I cannot live without.

Here they are:

Gimp.org

Open-source imaging editor (like Photoshop except Gimp is free). I use it to make all my digital collages and graphic design. I made this photo collage/drawing using Gimp:

Unsplash

Copyright-free high quality images. I use the images from unsplash 80% of the time. The title image above is from unsplash. They are free to download and you can even use them in your commercial projects. Additionally, you’re not required to give attribution. The quality of the images in unsplash is unparalleled.

Pixabay

Copyright-free images and artwork. pixabay also is a Creative Commons image library and you can download the images for free. It contains some drawings, too. You’re not required to give attribution, either.

Piktochart

This is a free tool to make infographics. There are paid and free versions, but the free version meets my needs so I continue using it. You can download your finished infographics for free, too. Here’s my Dash DAO proposal I made using piktochart:

Animatron

Create online animated videos for free. I made a simple, short animated video using this online tool and it was free. The free version adds the Animatron logo in your finished video:

So, hopefully these tools will help you create amazing Steemit posts! I know my Steemit posts wouldn't be nearly as good without these free resources. Do you have any that you can't live without that i didn't list?

Remember, go fullHQ, baby!

Once this post generates some money, I'll put a screenshot of the amount and add it to my Medium article to help spread the word about Steemit.
