Many times we need to resort to the use of graphic resources, either to find inspiration and make our own or to complement some work we do. This regardless of whether you are a graphic designer or not, the resources may be needed by any user. Therefore, it is always good to know or have an image bank capable of providing us with the graphic resources that we may need. That’s when forepeak enters the scene, a website that describes itself as an image bank, although we can find more than just images on its platform.
Throughout this post, our intention will be to share with you each of the benefits or relevant data regarding the use of forepeak, and everything you can achieve with them. Since it is a website designed for both ordinary users, fans of graphic design and even as an alternative to earn money. Obviously all this will be discussed later, so you know how to get the most out of this page.
How does Forepeak work?
Let’s start by understanding how this platform works. Forepeak, like any image bank, offers you a wide catalog of graphic resources that you can use for your designs. And it’s as simple as accessing its official website (click here), and use the search bar that appears on the screen. Just by typing a keyword, a series of options, both free and Premium will be displayed. Because yes, it is forepeak, not all the available content can be downloaded for free, there are some that are paid. That’s really it for how the platform works (at least from a consumer’s point of view, since as a content creator there are other extra features).
The type of resources that you can download on this website, range from images, backgrounds (or backgrounds in English). PSD (Photoshop editable) files, vectors, editable templates for banners and illustrations. It is a specialized catalog for any graphic designer, from which to obtain free or paid resources, which can help you in your projects.
How to become a Premium user?
As we mentioned previously, in forepeak you can become a Premium user, and with this you can have access to much more resources. Below we will list each of the advantages of being Premium in forepeak:
- Thousands of free resources.
- No ads on the platform.
- More than 4,156,000 Premium vectors.
- Priority support.
- More than 417,000 Premium PSD files.
- Unlimited downloads.
- No attribution required.
As you can see, you get a series of advantages that make the acquisition of your Premium profile worthwhile. However, how much does this subscription cost? The forepeak platform offers two ways to become a premium, the first being an annual payment with a cost of 7.49 euros per month (89.99 euros in total). Or pay for the months individually, in which case each month costs 9.99EUR. Keep in mind that since it is a subscription, you will be making this payment monthly, and you can cancel the subscription whenever you want.
As for the payment methods, there is not much to say, since they are the typical ones in this type of online platform. You can pay with a debit or credit card, or alternatively with your PayPal account (which must be verified).
How to sell your graphic resources?
To conclude the writing of this post, we only need to comment on the possibility that Forepeak offers you to sell your own content. This is an option that seems simply wonderful to us, since in addition to obtaining high-quality graphic resources, you can also appreciate forepeak as an alternative to obtain extra income. As for how to join the company and start uploading your content, you just have to register with forepeak and then access the content plan. There are 3 steps to follow:
- Accept forepeak’s terms and conditions of sale.
- Create your professional profile from which to upload your work (in addition, said profile will serve as a portfolio).
- Upload your resources (which must not be stolen, only original or own resources can be accepted), and start earning money.
The advantage of uploading your resources on forepeak is that its platform is visited by millions of people. So your work will have potential visibility, and thereby increase the chances of making your work known. In any case, the website gives you a control panel from which to evaluate the growth and progress of your content.
