Davide PacilioAfter the success of the first post, and incited by several of you to publish a second edition, I decided to spend a few hours this weekend to release the Part 2 of 50+ free tools and resources to create awesome user interfaces.
As for the first post, the whole list has been divided into different categories, including:
- Tools
- Illustrations
- Photos & Videos
- Typography
- Iconography
- Palette
- Vectors & Shapes
- Inspiration
- Utility
So if you’re looking for a free set of icons, just click on the Iconography link above.
Before we jump right in, I would like to thank all fellow devs for kindly sharing with me their favorite open-source projects after the release of the first post. Without their contribution, this second edition wouldn’t have been possible 🙌
