Graphic Design Resources
Links, assets, goodies, etc.
Olive is a month old (already?!?) and I’m back on campus.
One of my favorite things about being a teacher is pointing students to the myriad of things that have been helpful for me over the years.
This week I’m sharing some of those things with you.
I narrowed each category down to three things for your sanity but mostly mine. Let me know what I missed in the comments.
If you’re not interested in graphic design this post might not be for you (sorry) but you can share it with your friends.

Thank you for sharing this, Mitchell! I’ve just started a new position that leans more in the Graphic Design realm, which feels familiar but also very unfamiliar at the same time. I’ve been trying to soak up as much info as I can and this is a huge help! I really appreciate it.
Thanks Mitchell! Great resources.
1. Thinking with Type is one of my absolute favorite design books. I need to get the new edition.
2. One of my favorite mockup sites in recent years is Mr. Mockup. They have some great bundles and lots of great free ones:
