I remember you posting Creative Market. If I didn't acknowledge it with karma and/or thanks then, I'll say "thank you" now. I think that it will be helpful.
It is bit of trouble to have to download one font and/or one template at a time. And, building up a collection takes some time, doing it at the rate of one per week. I haven't yet started downloading the freebies on Creative Market or The Hungry JPEG, but I know that from my experience with Dover Publications about how troublesome it can be. However, there you can get several samples at a time (but you get them only once a week or two).
And, since I brought them up, I'll go ahead and tell you all that I know about them. Dover is a big publisher. They have a niche market, but at the moment it's kinda hard for me to define it. No matter. My point is that they publish a large number of clip art and other images books. Many of them have CD's with those books, where you can easily drop in images from them into projects that you're working on.
Here is
a link to the most recent email (web version) that I received from Dover with sample images. I don't know if you will be locked out of downloading any of the ones on that webpage or not, but at least you can see what I'm talking about. One easy way to get on their mailing list (unfortunately, there may be no way to request samples only and you may have to get their other email messages, too) is to navigate to
their store homepage and click on the bright red button on the lefthand side that says, "Sign up for our newsletter free."
I regularly downloaded all of their samples for several years, but I finally got tired of it. I decided that if I wanted a piece of clip art or other image that they had, I'd just go ahead and buy the book, if necessary. YMMV.
A recommendation about buying books that they publish. They have sales all of the time--sometimes 70% off or even more. However, it will be a limited selection. Also, by the time that you pay shipping and handling, you end up paying retail price or more, at that. I don't think that you can download any of their books at the present time, either. So, do yourself a favor: if you are an Amazon Prime member, just buy it from Amazon. Shipping will be free and almost certainly the order will get to you a lot quicker.
I apologize for not bringing up the Dover freebie samplers before now. To be honest, I still haven't gotten it firmly into my head that we no longer are limited to posting ebooks and audiobooks and related matters, but that we can also, by using this thread, post a lot of other things. Thank you, moderators!
