Even though I am not a professional designer, web and app development involves a lot ot design. The following free projects simplify my life:

❶ happyhues.co – you can get superb colors palettes.
❷ uigradients.com – superb for gradients.
❸ uidesigndaily.com – I draw design inspiration from here.
❹ icons8.com – high-quality icons for your work.
❺ fontawesome.com – styleable, programmable icons.
❻ svgporn.com – high-quality SVG logos.
❼ openpeeps.com – human illustration generator
❽ fontpair.co – awesomeGoogle Font combinations.
❾ unsplash.com – free stock photos.
➓ drawkit.io – hand-drawn illustrations.

When I need custom stuff, I find a good freelancer on Fiverr. Because I can get better service for very law budjet.

If you are interested in learning some basic design, I recommend the book "Refactoring UI". It's written by developers for developers.
