5. Visual elements

5.1. Fontello

Fontello compiles free icon packs (such as those from Font Awesome and MFG Labs), then lets you pick and choose your favorite ones to create a pack of your own.

From there, you can download the pack and use the icons as-is, or, you can add titles to create full graphic elements in a snap.

You always have the option of buying an icon pack or paying a designer to create a custom one for you.

But with the sheer diversity of icons available on Fontello, we’re confident any developer can find the icons he or she needs without paying out of pocket.

Fontello is available as a web app, and files can be downloaded in any format imaginable.

5.2. Unsplash & Pexels

Unsplash is a free stock photo resource with stunning stock photos.

Although only 10 new photos are added per week, there’s an impressive existing collection on the site with the option to search by keyword.

Because of the sheer quality of the images, most can be used for a wide variety of purposes, even if the picture you choose isn’t totally relevant to what you’re saying.

Although Unsplash is considered the best, other free stock photo sites are making waves, too (pun intended).

One such site is Pexels.

The concept is the same, except 10 new photos are uploaded daily, not weekly.

And as with Unsplash, you can search by keyword or category. 

Because there are more photos on a site like Pexels, you’ll be able to find images that match with your ideas more closely – Unsplash focuses mostly on grandeur shots of landscapes, scenery, and people.
