In your career as a freelance designer you’ll probably use tens, if not hundreds, of different tools to perform all the tasks needed to run your business. From image editors to accounting apps to text editors. There’s no way I could list all the tools available in one post, and if I did they would range from being completely free to costing an arm and a leg. So I thought I’d focus on the least expensive ones.
All these tools and services are either free or pretty cheap considering what can be done with them and can be great replacements to the more expensive ones we’re used to. The ones on this list probably won’t break the bank! :)

Looking for design inspiration on CSS and logo galleries and similar sites is great, but sometimes you need to take a good look outside the window and see what’s out there and get your creative juices flowing. Being a typography addict, I’m always looking for some examples of great-looking typography. I’ve always liked signage and street typography. So, here are 45 great examples!

Sometimes we get wrapped up in our specific profession and lose the ability to find creative sparks in other areas of our lives. So, in the hunt for inspiration elsewhere than web design, I went searching on vimeo and found 50 awesome stop motion videos that are sure to give you creative energy.
I mean, watch some of these below and tell me you’re not inspired! And when you’re done, let us know in the comments which ones you liked best (my personal favorite one is the break dancing one).

Reading blogs and tutorials is pretty good, in fact it’s great! You can learn a lot by doing this, but actually seeing and hearing (video and/or audio format), is a whole different world.
I’ve gathered some resources and sites that produce audio and video content. Of course, most of them offer RSS and also iTunes subscription options. I personally like to download the podcasts and screencasts and play them on my iPod Touch (if download is made available). The sites are listed in no particular order.
