redpepper approved: The Noun Project
Today on redpepper approved: The Noun Project
Who recommended it? Kyle, one of our design interns (We’ll send you to @rpinterns since he hasn’t used his own twitter account since 2011).
What is it? It’s a website and community working on building a global, visual language. You just search a noun, and then you can find royalty-free icons for purchase matching that word!
Where can you get it? Just go to thenounproject.com!
Why is it awesome? Kyle elaborates--“The Noun Project is a great resource for finding the right graphic icon to represent what noun you are trying to communicate in a pinch without having to create a customized image. While most graphic designers will create their own icons for custom projects sometimes they need to create something quickly for internal use and making icons can be very time consuming. It is very helpful to be able to just type in a word and download a great gray scale vector image, it saves a lot of time.”
