Design Informer is here to inform you of some great high-quality websites that offer some really good design resources. Best of all, these resources are free. Whether you are looking for a button, textures, or other web design elements for your next design, you are sure to find it in one of these websites.
I’ve been meaning to share these design resources for a few weeks now, but I just haven’t had the time to gather them all. I tweeted a couple of weeks ago asking my followers if they knew of any other websites, but a lot of the suggestions were sites that were really not that great. From all the sites that I gathered, these are my favorites. I can even say that I’ve used a lot of the freebies that are available for download on these websites.
The Websites
365PSD
365psd was started by Jonno Riekwel who decided he wasn’t going to let his creative work die after being rejected by clients. Instead of sending these files to the virtual basement to be forgotten, he decided to rally with other designers to share these beautiful PSDs with the world. Jonno’s goal was to release a free PSD every day for a whole year.
Subtle Patterns
Subtle Patterns is a collection of 57 high quality design patterns for you to use freely. New patterns added weekly.
Premium Pixels
Premium Pixels is a bunch of free design resources & tutorials created by Orman Clark. Don't worry, shameless freeloading is encouraged, feel free to use and abuse at will.
PixelsDaily

Unlike most design websites PixelsDaily delivers daily(!) high quality content, posts resources of all kinds and file types, publishes short but detailed tutorials that don’t take hours to do and allows contributions for designers to showcase their work.
