300textures.jpgVintage design, when done well, can make a user feel like they have been transported back in time. This particular style often uses design elements that look like they were found in the attic of an old house dating back to the 1920’s, 30’s, or 40’s. If you have a project coming up that requires this type of design, here is a big roundup of textures and Photoshop brushes, all found at deviantArt.

Moby GratisThere’s a ‘film music‘ section on moby.com where independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film, video, or short can listen to and request to use original Moby sound tracks at no cost.

The music is free as long as it’s being used in a non-commercial or non-profit film, however if you want to use it in a commercial film or short then you can apply for an easy license, with any money that’s generated being given to the humane society.

Moby has found a nice way to help a cause that is near and dear to him, while also helping film makers for free or cheap. Thanks Moby!
