Here’s a list of 35 really cool open source programs, ranging from basic audio and video editors, to 2D animation and 3D design. Definitely worth a look at, latest versions included. One of my favourites are Blender, its far different from the usual 3d programs around like 3Ds Max or Maya, but extremely powerful and flexible. Tutorials for that can be found here. For now, make sure you check out the awesome open source applications, remember, open source means means free download, no need to break the law with virus infested cracks and keygens!

This is where Dafont.com comes in, they offer thousands of designer fonts all at no charge. The site is easy to navigate and displays fonts in categories, you get fancy, techno, gothic, sans, sans-serif and more categories, so you can find the precise look and feel from there.
