I really don’t mind that they’re plugging the new Graphic River. I mean, it is quality design that should have a cost. There is so much quality, free stuff out there on the interweb nowadays, so there’s no need to complain when people wanna make a profit from their hard work.

Although I love to create individual icons for each site that I make, sometimes it doesn’t hurt to just take a break an use some already made ones. Top notch icons here!

Seriously did you even read the schedule?

http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/news/this-week-is-graphic-design-week-on-psdtuts-vectortuts/

I’ll paste some of the titles here too, and you point out to me exactly how any of these are just Tutsplus promoting Graphic River.

Create a Five-color Magazine Cover using a Spot Metallic.
Teach Yourself Graphic Design: A Self-Study Course Outline.
Design and Print Bold Promo Cards in 60 Minutes.
Preparing and Talking About Your Graphic Design Portfolio.
Creating a Rockstar Brand, Logo & Styleguide in Illustrator
Create a Business Card in Illustrator and Print it with UPrinting.
Make a Quick’n’Dirty Letterhead in … MS Word!
A 20 Minute Intro to Typography.

That’s just a handful of articles from an astonishing collection. It’s a strange accusation you make, considering there are so many quality articles already and many to look forward to.

A bit of self promotion isn’t something to complain about, I’m sure there’s plenty of people who have had their eyes opened to the great stuff Graphic River has to offer.

I for one think the Team have done a great job of bringing a wide range of posts forward and although I’m not angry at comments like yours it does surprise me that you’ve posted a comment like that when it clearly is not the case.

I’ve got so many of these icons, really loving the icon section of GraphicRiver. I love the sets by hipis. It’s amazing work, the “48 Ultra Cute Vector icons” Blow my mind!

I also really find the Minimo icon set and Pack of 60 Icons by ranfirefly really useful.

On the note of these not being free, I think there comes a point where designers stop relying on free resources. I’ve realized that to get give my designs that added something it’s certainly worth spending $20 or so on an icon set which the client hasn’t seen before.

For sure free icons are great, and there are a lot of good free sets out there. But there will come a point where you realize that you need to buy premium resources if you want to impress, especially on client work.
