The useful information for design creators in May 2024 is here. It is full of various design tools and fresh materials that can help you increase your productivity! Please enjoy it slowly. If you think the content is good, you are welcome to share these resources with those in need around you.
【Learn and grow】Good Books
See the world from the shoulders of giants, a site that brings together over 9,500 books recommended by the most successful and interesting people. I think the coolest part is that the website categorizes these famous and successful people according to various fields, such as venture capital, design, photography, education, marketing, music, entrepreneurship, etc. You can quickly find their recommended book lists based on your interests or areas of expertise, which greatly saves time in searching for books.
【Online Tools】Vectorizer.AI
This online tool can convert bitmap images into vector images that can be infinitely enlarged. Today, as AI-generated images become more and more popular, many people use Midjourney to generate ICON icons or logos. These are image file formats that cannot be edited. Now, using the “Vectorizer.AI” tool, you can easily convert these images into editable vector formats and support the mainstream SVG file format. This tool is currently in public beta and can be used for free. However, it may be converted to a subscription system in the future, so it is recommended to try it quickly during the free period.
Update: The tool has started charging. But you can upload pictures first to see the results before deciding whether to pay.
【Brand management】Crazy Phomi
If you love taking photos and you don’t have any projects recently, you can go and shoot events such as Taiwan road running or triathlon. Through this platform, you can sell the photos you take. Participants of the event can just search for the event route or entry number to find photographers from all over the world to upload. If the photos taken are great, you can also directly purchase the photos or even develop them directly. Selling the photos is a kind of recognition and you can also earn income. It is a good matchmaking platform. A photo sells for about 100 yuan or more, which is very good (I don’t know how much the platform’s commission is).
