Once in a while a new design resource arrives that looks so good you simply have to shout about it from the rooftops and make sure everybody knows about it. And today such a resource has launched, it is called Media Loot – a lowly priced subscription-based online toolbox of premium design resources. It is your one-stop resource for the coolest icons, the highest quality Photoshop brushes, the perfect textures, the best vectors, professional print templates, and much much more.

And the coolest thing of all? We have 5 free one-year licenses up for grabs (valued at $168 each!).
All you have to do to win a subscription is leave a comment below and tell us what resources you would like to see on MediaLoot.

About MediaLoot

Media Loot has been founded with one basic idea — to somehow provide better design resources for a lot less money. The best way to do that, they have found out, was to offer a subscription membership where designers could band together in a larger community. They can then buy tons of awesome designs together, distribute the cost, and everyone gets more for less. Now, how cool an idea is that?

The goal of the site has been to eliminate the need for pay-per-use sites by offering a subscription-based service and offer royalty-free resources designers that you could use on your own or commercial projects.

What cool resources does Media Loot offer?

Have a look a below at some of the cool resources that MediaLoot offer, and remember this is only the tip of the iceberg, and more much will be available soon.

    I am the owner of The Everyday Web Expert, a full design web firm. That being said, having sources at our disposal for our web designer are such a great thing. Just when you need insipration, you get on this site and get what you are looking for.

    Basically this has all that designer need. I would like to see more icons sets that are available. With the web being such a powerhouse, having an appealing site is such an important aspect. Icons and images provide that appeal.

    Hope I am one of the ones selected. :)

    Thanks!

    Icons, backgrounds, frames, borders, fonts are all always good.

  4. Dnyanesh Mankar

    The resources MediaLoot offers are good. But I’d like to see stock video clips, stock sound clips that can help a person who is into movie-making stuff.

  5. Eirik Dalseide
    9 Mar, 2010

    Tons close-up photos of everything from a hair lock to a flie.

    Great competition!

    MediaLoot sounds great. The resources I’d most like to see are vector graphics and photoshop/illustrator brush sets.

  13. Sven Read
    9 Mar, 2010

    MediaLoot looks interesting. Would need high quality vector icons for iphone apps and web apps.

  14. M. Justice
    9 Mar, 2010

    I recommend two things.

    1) a mobile site where I can search and view collections while on the go.

    2) On this comments form. It appears that both Name and Email are required, but does not mention which (of the 3 fields) will be shown once I submit the form. Just a privacy concern, but not a big deal.

  15. Alex
    9 Mar, 2010

    I’d love to see fonts, vectors and icons, as well as print templates!

  16. Noelle Webster

  20. Michael Duskus
    9 Mar, 2010

  21. Jelleke
    9 Mar, 2010

    I would say you can never have enough icons to choose from.

  22. Kris Stokes
    9 Mar, 2010

    Definitely icons and textured tileable backgrounds.

  23. nico_nico

    I’d really like to access this stuff !

  24. Darren
    9 Mar, 2010

    With the growing popularity of video, I would LOVE to see the following on Media Loot:

    1) Adobe After Effects Projects
    2) High quality audio loops to act as backing tracks
    3) Adobe Encore Templates

    Good luck with the site!

  25. Raphael Riegger
    9 Mar, 2010

    Icon sets which come in different styles so there is less time spent on editing the icons to suite your website.

    Also a lot of different isolated (on white background) stock imagery of different items and people. Things such pictures of unbranded bottles, packaging and such would be very useful as well.

  26. JS
    9 Mar, 2010

    Some type of program that provides the ability to offer my own designs as part of the library in exchange for the monthly fee. Don’t know how you’d work that since you’d need someone approving the designs and making sure the legals are taken care of, but still… it would be nice.

  27. R. Mostyn Adams
    9 Mar, 2010

    Yeah Giddaye – love the concept of collective might.
    Finding the right tool for the job can be time consuming (and expensive). While I have a craving for fonts, borders, brushes, icons (iphone), textures, vectors and vids – it is finding the things that drives me to chocolate.
    Colour matching resources is a feature that would be cool. Good stock indexed with matching templates and icons (by pantone. CYMK or RGB Hex) – or just visual swatches.
    It’s not just colour matching – it is making the resources easier to find. For example sometimes I am looking for a large brush or texture, other times, some templates in a specific palate.
    Therefore, providing more searchable information regarding the resources will improve my productivity. Imagine selecting a resource type, choosing a swatch (or palette), maybe putting in some size requirements, scan the options, select and download. Suggestions could then be offered on other resources that match (by color, resolution) that have similarities to the item downloaded.

  28. AP

    All of them

  29. Glenn Schneider
    9 Mar, 2010

  31. Kevin Rajaram

    I’d love to see more textures for use in web design, and more of those lovely custom icons. These would be essential to me.

  32. Tuhin Kumar

  45. Nice Giveaway!! loved the first two released from medialoot… I would love to see “anything and everything related to design and web dev” on medialoot! :D

  49. SocialBigTop
    10 Mar, 2010

    Stock images, site backgrounds, icons definitely. Video clips would be nice. Also sound files and podcasts would be a nice extra.

  50. Aaron
    10 Mar, 2010

    Awesome giveaway, thanks! I’d like to see html/WordPress/Drupal, etc templates. The textures are also intriguing.

  51. adone

  52. qpido
    10 Mar, 2010

    I would like to have nice background patterns, free-fonts and of course stock photos.

  53. Jônatan Fróes

  54. Maor Henry
    10 Mar, 2010

    I would like some PSD Templates, WordPress templates.

  55. Tyler Hauser
    10 Mar, 2010

    I would definitely love some templates… DVD Covers, Business Cards, etc. Also, some CMS themes would be pretty cool too.

    I’ll be waiting for a little bit (end of this contest) before I sign up, but I’m stoked to get involved!

  56. Xavi
    10 Mar, 2010

    I would like to see some illustrations based in a concept on Media Loot, rather than some singular dolls or flowers (all seen in websites of this kind).

    Other unique stuff hard to find are those pictures or illustrations to use on top or bottom of websites that have indefinitely width through repeating side pixels of those images.

    I hope that my suggestions are enough to win this competition.

  57. Chris
    10 Mar, 2010

    I’d love to see repeatable textures (nice ones, not hokey stuff) and vector icons. :)

  58. Tyler Kroeker
    10 Mar, 2010

    Icons, textures, brushes for starters. Though I would also love to see code snippets, flash objects/arrays/animations, and maybe even audio. Though those things aren’t necessarily geared towards design I find my path crossing those things quite often.

  59. Jason K
    10 Mar, 2010

    I’d love to see more hand drawn web 2.0 landing page stuff. Arrows, Circles, buttons, etc. that could be used on landing and sales pages.

  60. Brian
    10 Mar, 2010

    Media Loot looks awesome – I’d love some super simple icons for web designers and web design in general.

  61. Lee Gustin
    10 Mar, 2010

    High-quality vectors and icons are always great to be able to download/buy!

  62. Jeremy Buff
    10 Mar, 2010

    I would love to see:

    - Hand-drawn images
    - High quality vectors
    - Top notch patterns
    - Rare templates, like DVD/CD covers

    :)

  64. Carlos
    10 Mar, 2010

    I have been freelancing for some time.
    What I’d like to see on MediaLoot are website mock-ups.
    It is time-efficient route when starting a new project. Having a gallery where a client can choose a design from would be ideal.

    Specky, thanks for the chance to win this cool prize!

  65. Josh Kalderimis
    11 Mar, 2010

    Ok looking websites are a dime a dozen, but creating fantastic looking sites requires the right resources, something which medialoot will help solve.

    I would like to see more icons and mock-up related files/tools.

    Many kudos for running the competitions!

  66. Jon Phillips
    11 Mar, 2010

    Thanks for all the comments and suggestions guys! We’re taking notes and a lot of your suggestions will definitely be added to our to-do list!

  71. W. Shaw
    11 Mar, 2010

    Code! You know, all those bits of javascript or jquery stuff you’re always reusing but keep forgetting where you last used them. A central depository would be great. And icons of course – they get so old so fast.

  72. karen
    11 Mar, 2010

    Like to see more vectors,brushes textures, icons & print templates. Hope I win a license. Thanks.

  73. Oskar Larsson

  76. Colin Cavaliere
    11 Mar, 2010

    being a new designer I am always taking time to search for icons, boarders, and buttons. I do however find items that I can use on your site all of the time. that is where this subscription to your site would help me out tremendously! keep it up guys, even if I dont win I will still be using your services.

  77. Ebow
    11 Mar, 2010

    nice background images for web developers

  78. Jucel Meneses
    11 Mar, 2010

    I would love to see more detail on techniques with vectors. I have studied all the recent lists of icons, buttons, etc. and will really like to see how people are pushing the envelope with Illustrator.

  79. Steve Webster
    12 Mar, 2010

    As a web designer I would love to have lots of cool icons, buttons and other UI resources.

  80. wye

  82. Jason Bequette

  83. I’d love to see photoshop shapes. :)

  84. Conrad Borba
    12 Mar, 2010

    Graphic designer by day, freelance web designer by night. I would love to have a new tool in my arsenal. Plus I have been meaning to update my own website and would love to use the great stuff from MediaLoot.

    As for what they could use more of… well great big icon sets are always of use. Standard templates for things like CDs, DVDs just about anything that would be useful. Vector illustrations are always nice to have on hand. Buttons an visual effects are a big time saver. Quality fonts are always nice.

    My list of wants/needs is too long to continue. Keep up the good work!

  85. Sean
    12 Mar, 2010

    I seem to need more icons and textures the most so definitely more of those would be awesome.

  86. Jan Bosman
    12 Mar, 2010

    Icons! Fonts! Pre-made logos would probably fit in well too.

  87. James
    12 Mar, 2010

  93. Jon
    16 Mar, 2010

  94. Jaime
    17 Mar, 2010

    Textures and Icons. Can never have too many textures and icons.

  95. Tuomas Leppänen
    18 Mar, 2010

    I’d love to see high quality PSD resources containing Icons, website structures like menus, headers, fields etc. Would be also nice to see vectors in AI format.

    Logo templates are always nice but mostly for inspiration so I’d leave those out.

    Section for 3D-elements to be used on website would be lovely and definately make it stand out as its one of rising trends on webdesign but there is not much resources on that subject.

  96. I’d like to see some more web UI elements and characters… love the characters.

  97. Cari
    18 Mar, 2010

    Everything!! Icons, backgrounds, textures, layouts, print templates, web and email templates, modern calendar templates (hard to find!)…

    Packages of a few resources compiled together would be sweet! Like a one stop shop – get your web template, email template, business card template, etc that are all the same design style and work well together. Badda-bing, badda-boom… your ready to go!

  98. vijay
    18 Mar, 2010

    Like to see more testures, layouts and templates. Thanks

  99. Milan
    19 Mar, 2010

    Hi,

    MediaLoot seems like a very interesting place for finding graphic elements, but would love to see some PSD templates there, too, together with more iconsets.

    Thanks, Milan.

  100. Rami

  101. Sherri

    MediaLoot looks like they offer some extremely cool stuff. I’d love to see:
    1. free unusual fonts
    2. Photoshop brushes
    3. Templates (web, Dreamweaver, etc.)
    4. Textures
    5. Snippets
    6. CSS and jQuery code, for menus and galleries

    And, of course, the kitchen sink! :)

    MediaLoot looks great! The Non-for- Profit I work for (www.c2st.org) could really use these resources.

  105. Jose
    30 Mar, 2010

    if there is such a thing as a one stop design resource only a ignoramus hippopotamus wouldn’t want it :) i like the model and the idea so share the loot with me

  106. Jason Leong
    31 Mar, 2010

    Media Loot has most of the download for designers.

    What resources I like to see on MediaLoot?

    Simple “gif” or “javascript” animations.

  107. Carlos
    1 Apr, 2010

    I’m definitely going gaga over MediaLoot the past week as I continually see a lot of resources that I actually need being added there! If there is anything I would like to see at MediaLoot, that would be more vector (ai/eps) resources and some more tile-able backgrounds. I’m not really that good with hand-drawn illustrations so I usually go to the experts when I need one.

  108. Betty
    4 Apr, 2010

    I’d love to see:
    - Special color palettes
    - Sets of vectors, textures, gradients coordinated
    - Special and unusual fonts
    - Icons animated
    - Flash elements
    - Borders, strps, bands and ribbon sets
