Usually a day does not go by without a student or fellow designer asking us at The Bold EdgeThese free images websites are great for students that use the images within their homework projects or by designers in the field that need to produce low budget designs for low budget clients.
As time goes on, I kept adding to my list of websites, until one day (that is today) I decided that is it! I am creating a post with all the websites I know of or have been told about on Jewish Women Creatives Worldwide (the LinkedIn group I created). I will be adding to the list as time goes on so make sure to bookmark the site.
Please make sure to check out if the image you are interested in using from any one of these sites is permitted for commercial usage or if there are limitations for usage. The Bold Edge is not responsible for any legalities.

Just wanted to add..I have found though that when working on a paid project you will generally be purchasing images for the design since the free image websites do not have the really amazing images. However, with some creativity you can use Photoshop to combine 2 free images into 1 great image. You have to weigh between the cost of buying an image and the cost of the time you spent to create the custom image.
