  1. These are really good PSD’s, a thousand thanks. But something bothers me. Are these tons of freebies making us web designers any good, in terms of creativity? I mean, how creative can you be when you just grab these and roll with it as if it where your creation? Just saying!

  2. I think part of the idea is to take something, redesign or improve it and make it your own. The idea that there is truly nothing new under the sun, just our own adaptions of what we see.

    You cannot learn without a teacher or someone who is gone before. Now if all you do is copy then you can’t really call yourself a designer.

  3. Umm, you can’t just take the NFL logo and slap it on something. I have worked with them in licensing and they have restrictions as to how and even IF you can use their logo. You have to get approved by them as a licensee first. Then they provide you with the appropriate logo.

  4. I think freebies are great for designers. I get a lot of my inspiration from free designs.

    Using them as templates and reconstructing them to my own creation.

    Sometimes you have to just think, “why reinvent the wheel?”
