I’m creating some new sites at the moment and wanted a fresh, new look to go with them so I decided to use illustrations as they are both on trend and a world away from the stock photos we’ve all seen a gazillion times before.
Turns out there are tons of fab illustrations out there that you can get for nada so here are the best sources I found:
