Startup Resources: Photos and Graphics
Images, photos, graphics, clip art, icons, and image editors you can use in your startup. See the "Idea, Design, MVP" chapter in Part I, Products for more info.
These startup resources are based on the book Hello, Startup: A Programmer's Guide to Building Products, Technologies, and Teams by Yevgeniy Brikman. These resources are a work in a progress. They are also open source, so you can add your contributions by submitting a pull request to the Hello, Startup GitHub Repository. To see how these resources fit into the bigger picture, check out the The Startup Checklist, which is a comprehensive collection of everything you need to do to launch a startup.
