So where to go for all those clichés that people want in a Halloween design? Well, here comes Beeex.net, your collection of strictly free resources for graphic designers and web developers. And today, we have collected some great Halloween design resources for you. For that last-minute call for a professional Halloween graphic.

We have searched and listed a total of 35 Halloween design resources for the ambitioned designer: Halloween icons, Photoshop brushes, free Halloween vector art, and of course, free fonts. Some might want to rather refer to some of the features as “Halloween Clip Art” – that’s fine. Some graphic designers tend to turn up their noses at anything clipart in general – these are meant to inspire you, friends! So be nice.

We’ve also collected some Halloween ideas for you: Halloween wallpapers and backgrounds. You can either use these for inspiration, or to scary up your computer desktop.

And finally, we found some great Halloween tutorials for Photoshop, which will take you through the steps of designing some spooky Halloween invitations and cards.

So here goes: Let’s cut to the chase and come up with some great Halloween design today! Fire up Photoshop, fire up Illustrator, get creative!

Halloween Design

Please note the user license for each of the following design resources. While they are all free, some come with a restricted usage license – e.g. for commercial work. So before you download a resource, please read the license that is usually noted on the download page.

Halloween Icons

Halloween icons that will make your desktop applications look really really scary. Make no mistake – don’t call this clip art. Halloween clip art is for milk drinkers. Halloween icons are for graphic desingers.

1/ Halloween Monsters

The nice people at Turbomilk have put together a great and very appealing set of cute little Halloween monsters. This Halloween clip art goes by the name of “monstroworld icons” and is intended to replace your usual desktop icons. And indeed, they look great! Go fetch these Halloween icons – for Mac OS X and Windows, or as PNG files – right here.

2/ Halloween Avatars/Smileys

Again, the word most suitable for these Halloween icons is “cute” rather than “scary”. Maybe “scary sweet”? At least that’s an alliteration. You can use these 20 nice, shiny and glossy 3D-style icons for anything you like, they come in GIF, ICO, and ICNS formats. Thanks to deleket on Deviant Art! Grab these Halloween icons here.

3/ Jack O’ Lantern & Harry Potter’s Hat

The Jack O’ Lantern is an American tradition and belongs in your window when the kids arrive, or they will make you suffer for your ignorance. Unless you have Harry Potter by your side to wave his magic wand at them and turn them into Jack O’ Lanterns themselves. With this free icon pack, you have both: download it here from Icon Drawer (you have to scroll down on the page a bit).

4/ Bloody Halloween Icons

These are actually two sets of bloody Halloween icons – one contains such things as knives, both with blood splatters on them and without, and the other spoils us with the Halloween mask from Scary Movie. Or was it Scream? Either way, you can find both free icon sets on this page.

5/ Halloween Icons Collection by The Iconfactory

These are five different sets of Halloween icons made by the Icon factory (a great site!). You have to click on each of the above 5 thumbnails to go to these pages. They are named as follows:
1/ Spooky Halloween Stickers (pumpkin),
2/ World of Aqua – After Dark (black cat),
3/ Vintage Halloween (scary masks),
4/ Glossy Halloween Food (pumpkin),
5/ Haunted Hard Drives (haunted hard drive).
Great addition to our Halloween design freebies by The Iconfactory. Check them out!

12/ Deathbat Photoshop Brushes

What’s a deathbat? Simple – a bat with a skull as its head. Or, from the skull’s perspective which we don’t want to neglect, a deathbat is a flying skull with bat wings. So here come some great Photoshop deathbat Brushes for you, perfect for Halloween! Download them here (thanks RiseAboveArt).

13/ Cliché Halloween Photoshop Brushes

A nice little set of three free vector graphics can be found over at Vecteezy. These free Halloween vectors consist of a witch hat and two carved pumpkins – one glowing, one in its natural form. Well, if you consider Jack O’ Lantern natural, that is. You can download this kit here.

The vector pack contains eight embroidery badges, all in different colors. What you get is vectors in green, red, brown, blue, and white, with various pre-made text graphics inside of them. And as if that wasn’t enought already, the Vibr8 Bros. also included four blank vector graphics with no text – for you to write your own blurb inside of it. How’s that?

Take a look at what is included in this download.

The free vector art file looks like this:

..and it is an AI file for use in Adobe Illustrator CS3. There also is a secondary download, also free, which contains the vector graphics as PNG files (12 of them) – at a decent size, so that you can open them in Photoshop or another graphic design program, if you prefer not working with vector graphics.

You can download this free vector art pack right here. Enjoy!

If you ever wanted to design a flyer, a poster or a website using a sexy girl or a female silhouette in your artwork, then you know that it can be tough finding someting good, useable and free on the internet. Now we’re not talking photography, but vector art – that means that the designer either traced the girl from an existing image, or that he created her from scratch.

Now you could always trace a photograph on your own. We covered a technique to do that in this post, How to Trace a Photo in Illustrator. If you don’t want to do that by yourself, this post is for you. Take a look at what we’ve got for you.

This post contains no nudity, only quality vector art. These files come with a Creative Commons license or a GPL license and are free to use for personal work. The download link for each free vector pack is included with each feature. Enjoy!

They just released a free vector pack full of glossy and shiny, colorful Web 2.0 badges (or stickers). If you use Adobe Illustrator, you should check these out: you get the source AI and EPS files to change, alter and use them with your own text!

It’s still January, but you know what, we don’t care! Neither does Bittbox: after a 2-day server downtime due to a senescent hard drive (honestly!), they reward us with three very ’summerish’ vector sunflowers for Adobe Illustrator!

As you may have noticed……Beeex.net featured quite a few things from Bittbox in the past. Now, to be honest, this kit isn’t one of their best ones, but we still decided to feature it. Although it only contains three sunflowers, they are not bad at all, and they can be quite useful indeed.

These sunflowers come as EPS vector files, you can use them with either Illustrator 10 and up or with another vector graphics editor like Inkscape. Alternatively, you can also download the SVG version of the sunflowers.

You can download this .zip file right here. Enjoy!

Here come some free nice, glossy and shiny vectors for you. They are glass/metal buttons, or icons.

Thanks to Bittbox for these! As they are vectors, you need a vector program like Illustrator or Inkscape to use them; but they also come as SVG and PNG files – ready to use.

You can download the .zip pack including AI, EPS, SVG and PNG files from here.

Welcome to the first Swooshes and Swirls download here on Beeex.net! This is the first in a series; there are many more to come. Swooshes and Swirls are very popular nowadays, as you might now. So watch out for follow-ups!

If you want to stay updated about new posts on Beeex.net, you can subscribe to our RSS feed in the upper right corner of the page, or you can subscribe to our daily newsletter.

The download includes AI, EPS and SVG files. Download the .zip pack here.

Are you looking for fancy header designs? Look here! Glassy, Swirly and swooshy – yet very decent and subtle they are… And of course, just like everything on Beeex.net, completely free!

These come from Bittbox and are perfect for customization: they come as vector files (AI and EPS). Also included are SVG and PNG files for direct usage. Download below.

You can download the .zip package file here.

Here are some nice glass buttons and bars for your homepage or blog. They come as vectors from Bittbox and are highly cusomizable.

To use and customize them, you’ll need a vector program like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape. The download includes AI and EPS files (vector), but also PNG format for direct use! Plus: if you scroll down on the download page (see the link below), you can find round buttons for the numbers and alphabet, also as AI, EPS, PNG and SVG. Enjoy!

Download this .zip pack right here.

Here come some beautiful Web 2.0-style glass bars. Bittbox delivers them as vectors, thus you can customize them easily using Illustrator (or Inkscape).
