Comment to Win a One-Year Membership to MediaLoot!

Vandelay Website Design — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:19:51 +0000

Earlier today a new membership-based site, MediaLoot was launched. It is an online toolbox of premium design resources, and they have kindly offered to give five readers of the Vandelay Design blog a one-year membership to the site for free!

MediaLoot is a project of Jon Phillips of Spyre Studios and Mason Hipp of Freelance Folder. Members of MediaLoot are able to download resources like textures, icons, vectors, brushes, templates and more. The goal of MediaLoot is to eliminate the need for pay-per-use sites by offering a subscription-based service where members can download loads of great resources. There are already some quality items available for download, and more will be added on an on-going basis.

I’ve been on the site today and have already download some resources that I hope to put to good use, including textures and icons. Both Jon and Mason have contributed a lot to the design community through their blogs, so I hope you will visit MediaLoot and check out what they have to offer.

The Giveaway Details:

If you would like to enter to win one of the 5 one-year memberships (the normal price is $14 per month), please leave a comment on this post. On Friday, March 12th the five winners will be selected at random. At that time this post will be updated and the winners will be notified by email (so be sure to leave a valid email address).

Also, if you would like to design resources for MediaLoot you can find information about that on their Design for Us page.
