Free backgrounds & photos
by Sapphire (June 17, 2006)
Here are a couple of sources for free graphics for websites.
Bloggrounds offers a really nice assortment of free tiled backgrounds, designed specifically for blogs - but I can see them working on most any site. Terms of use are very fair, and don’t exclude commercial sites. I’m using one of their backgrounds on this site.
MorgueFile provides royalty-free photography that’s surprisingly nice. From the description of the site, I expected to see pictures from Uncle Beanie’s trip to the Ozarks, but there’s some shockingly good stuff in there. The archive is searchable and works well, so you look for something like “blue car” and get mostly pictures of blue cars. I’ve never had an easier time finding photos for my site designs.
