Creative Domain Names: Some Clever Alternatives

That means that any idea you have for a domain name today has been through someone else mind up to 23 years before you.

Design Resources Pack #1: The Grunge Pack, Brushes, Fonts, Textures etc…

Amazing FREE downloadable resources for your grunge designs

Welcome to the very first edition of our Design Resources Pack, the basic idea behind this is; we collect a load of resources around a certain theme or style and put them together in one place.

Grunge is a style which is often misunderstood. Grunge doesn’t always have to mean really over the top dirty and dark. Today grunge comes in many forms, subtle grunge effects seem to be more common than just completely “grunging” something up. Whether you choose to be subtle, or over-the-top with your Grunge style here are some amazing resources to help you out.
