You'd be amazed what you can do with pure CSS these days, however there's loads of sites out there offering stuff for free. Here are a few of my favourites.. http://ui-cloud.com/ (Search engine for UI graphics) http://subtlepatterns.com/ (Patterns for backgrounds) http://www.dinpattern.com/ (Patterns for backgrounds) http://365psd.com/ http://www.premiumpixels.com/ http://www.designkindle.com/ http://designmoo.com/ev…

Great comment -- I would also add http://iconfinder.com/ to the list (made by another YCer), especially as it allows me to filter icon searches by license.

Oh that's a great one, cheers!

I'm also quite fond of http://icomoon.io/ - There's a lot of decent free fonts but the real beauty is that you can add your own icons and create a custom font with just the ones you need!

Icon fonts are awesome.

http://glyphicons.com/ (Paid if you want formats other than png)

http://www.justbenicestudio.com/studio/websymbols/

http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/

Found this directory of resources in my designer brother's bookmarks: http://skout.co.za/. Not sure how updated it is though.

If you are looking for background images(e.g. I just need a photo of a baby) - I generally use flickr.

Make sure to use the advanced search and select the "Find content to use commercially" option - and also don't forget to link back to the creators of images you use.

If you by YCer mean Hacker news member, then yes. We haven't joined YC (got into 500 startups, though).

Thanks!

That is indeed what I meant. Sorry for the mixup.
