If you are a blogger, writer, planner extraordinaire, or own a business, digital design resources are very important. Whether you are looking for digital pattern backgrounds, clip art, or stock photos I have compiled a list of free resources for everyone.
If you are planning to use these for commercial purposes, please make sure that the resource you have selected has commercial rights on it. Most of the time when you download a file from these places it will tell you if you need to accredit the author, or if it is free to use for commercial or personal purposes.
