On the hunt for the best open source resources and more

Apple announced there newest gadget called ipad a couple of days back. While Apple’s interface builder is great, it doesn’t really allow us to create custom UI elements on the fly, thats why Geoff Teehan created iPad GUI PSD for us.

The PSD was constructed using vectors, so it’s fully editable and scalable. You’ll notice there are a few new UI elements as compared to the iPhone interface. The workable screen design is formatted to 768×1024 so anything you design in the Photoshop file can easily be brought over to the SDK.

It has been almost an year ago when i posted the 22 useful free icon packs list. Due the success and the requests for a new list of useful and free icon packs, i’ve created a new list, this time bigger and better. To save you some time(time is money) i have created this list of 50 icon packs in the categories, web application, e-commerce, sketch, mini icons, mono icons and social icons. Basically this is all you need for a new project, big or small.

There are a lot of great icons lists on the web but most of the time they contains good but not that useful icons packs, this list isn’t one of those lists.

Every month, i will choose a site that gets the title site of the month here on OpenSourceHunter. This can be an site of a freelancer, a usefull application/tool, a cool company, a site with great tutorials and resources, a blog, a site with a cool design or something else.

The first site of the month is Grafpedia. Grafpedia is a site that has a lot of great and useful design tutorials, free PSD file’s, free stockphoto’s and more resources. You can even become an VIP member to get even more great resources. Go and check it out.

A html vCard is an minimalistic design that contains just the right information that a visitor needs to know(most of the times). It contains(most of the times), anabout, porfolio, social(very important) and a contact section/page. This kind of sites are mostly used for personal sites.

The html vCard trend was started by Tim van Damme and his design has been copy and use for inspiration multiple times now.

To celebrate the Redesign(more about the redesign here) of the Envato Marketplaces GraphicRiver is giving away a cool icon set. The icons are design by Eugene Artsebasov and Turbomilk.

You may already have noticed it has been a little bit quiet the last weeks, the reason for this is that there is a new design comming for OpenSourceHunter. Because there are comming some new features and some a lot changes i wont post a lot of new articles.

ThemeForest, GraphicRiver, FlashDen, VideoHive and AudioJungle are well knowen marketplaces where you can buy and sell very profesional templates, graphics, flash and audio files. Every month these marketplaces are providing a free downloadable item with permission of there authors. You can see the list for this month below.
