【Design materials】frame-illust
A website that provides free illustration materials. Frame-Illust is a website founded by Japanese illustrators, designers and artists. The illustration materials are divided into five categories: characters, animals, plants, objects and backgrounds. They are all high-definition and copyright-free. They can be used for commercial and personal purposes. They can be downloaded directly without registration and are very convenient to use.
【Design materials】Pixel Garo（ピクセルガロー）
This is a free material website that focuses on the Pixel style. The Pixel Garo website provides up to 20 types of materials, and more than tens of thousands of pixel images can be downloaded for free, which can be used for personal or commercial purposes. However, remember to indicate the source and source link before using these materials. There are three sizes: 32px, 16px, and 12px. Some Pixel illustrations are presented as dynamic GIF images.
【Work situation】Window to the world
The window view dynamic photo frame I shared last time costs RMB 10,000 to RMB 20,000, and requires a paid subscription. It is really impossible to get it. Fortunately, Jiejie is a tech geek, so he directly made a Youtube playlist! “Window of the World, Take You Around the World” has compiled a batch of Youtube loop videos and made it into a playlist, referred to as “Window of the World”, which will continuously play the scenery outside the windows around the world, including parks, waterfalls, forests, bustling cities where it rains at night, etc. The coolest thing is that each video has contextual background sounds, and the average length is more than three hours. When reading in front of the computer, you can play the videos of this channel on the computer screen and you will immediately feel like you are on vacation abroad. However, it is recommended to have Youtube Premium like Jiesuke to avoid the interference of advertisements.

Directly upload the image or paste the URL of the image, and four placements will be generated. After clicking download, it will be downloaded directly to your computer in JPEG format.
