Same.

Interesting idea. Though I wouldn't want my headset to glow like that, it would get annoying fast. Both for me and other people.

Hej Erik! You can try Spirit https://spiritapp.io/

Doing what everyone else does is up to the designers themselves in my opinion. If you want to stand out, do it, if you don't, then don't. Free things are just free things.

Most definitely for start-ups. Most of the time you can't afford getting a proper illustrator to help you evolve your brand so using things like this and maybe modify it to your liking helps out a lot.

What's important are the features at that point and gaining new users. Not amazingly perfect illustrations. That comes with user numbers and money.

I think all designers want to have amazing illustrations. They don't want to default. But if they have to, it's great to have it available at least.

Same goes for typefaces like google fonts & photography like unsplash. Free is fucking great.

Why even complain about things that are released for free for people to use? Id love to see your contribution to the design community please.

Probably manual overpaints in Photoshop. :)

Lovely photo portfolio! My only gripe is that the site loads the photos really slow (almost 7-10 seconds per 300-400kb photo). I think my workplace just has a really slow connection today.

+1 for Polymail. Best I've found so far. Works perfect for me, even heavy e-mails.
