Design & Templates

Ordered the way a design job actually runs: make the thing, find the assets, pick the fonts, fit the template. The design-tool group splits between collaborative web apps and lighter editors — take the former when you need to hand over source files, the latter for quick edits. Everything in the stock-image group is free to use or carries a stated licence, so confirm the terms before downloading; images with recognisable people or trademarks deserve a second look at the intended use. The icon and font group covers the two things CJK projects most often overlook: complete icon sets and licensing for Chinese typefaces. Office templates are for reports and decks — replace every placeholder before you present, or you will meet your own template again.
