Free For All: The Valentine’s Day Edition

Pariah Burke

Saint Valentine’s Day is near. Whether you’re looking for resources to make something special for your client or your sweetheart, the following free fonts, photos, Photoshop brushes, and color palettes and patterns can help.
Fonts
I’ve got a great big sampler of free Valentine’s Day fonts all wrapped up in cellophane and a pretty bow, just for you. Click here to download them all in a single, 483KB Zip file. Now what did you get me?

Stock Photography
I so enjoyed hand-picking free stock photography for the Winter Holidays edition of Free for All that I’ve done it again, this time for a lightbox of 60 love-inspired and love-reminiscent stock photographs. Some of the images are old standbys — silhouetted sweethearts holding hands, a valentine drawn in the sand, roses — but I also sought out less-obvious imagery that conveys love or romance in subtle or unique ways. All are free to use (according to their individual licenses), but you will need a free Stock.xchng account to download the images.

Palettes & Patterns
COLOURLovers.com offers members a broad selection of downloadable, royalty-free palettes and patterns. If you’re stuck for color schemes or tileable patterns for your Valentine’s projects, look no further than below, which I culled from the 1 million plus palettes and patterns boasted by this creative community.
You can download palettes in many formats: Adobe Swatch Exchange, Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, HTML, WPF, XAML, ZIP, and Microsoft Expression. Just click on each image to be taken to the appropriate page.

Patterns can be downloaded as ready-to-tile PNG graphics, or pre-tiled larger areas in various sizes.

Go to page 2 for a dozen Photoshop brush set that include hundreds of love!
