31 Most Wanted Web Design Freebies of 2013

“Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions: there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it’s so complicated.” – Paul Rand

If you work in web design, you know perfectly well that your work is a lot easier when you’ve got a fresh supply of design resources and design inspiration to get you through the day. That’s why freebies are so important. No matter what you’re working on, odds are you can find exactly what you need to get started somewhere online so you don’t have to do a lot of extra work.

Whether you’re working on a website, a mobile app or an infographic, you’re going to need a lot of resources and it’s better to get them from someone else for free instead of building them rom scratch yourself. Design is all about simplicity, and that’s a fact. That’s why it’s so important to be able to focus on the big picture instead of the tiny details.

We’ve compiled a list of 31 awesome web design freebies of 2013 so you don’t have to. You’ll find all sorts of stuff in here, from icon packs, buttons and typefaces to credit card mockups and textures as well as badges and infographic shapes.
