Public domain image resources is a copy of the master Wikipedia page at Meta, which lists a number of sources of public domain images on the Web.

Public Domain images should be marked with the Public Domain Mark 1.0. Public Domain Mark enables works that are no longer restricted by copyright to be marked as such in a standard and simple way, making them easily discoverable and available to others. The Public Domain Mark is recommended for works that are free of known copyright around the world. These will typically be very old works. For a creator to release their works into the public domain legally they must use the creative commons CC0 license which gives creators a way to waive all their copyright and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law. The presence of a resource on this list does not guarantee that all or any of the images in it are in the public domain. You are still responsible for checking the copyright status of images before you submit them to Wikipedia.

Please read the policy on image use and etiquette at: Wikipedia:Image use policy.

You can use CCSearch to search for freely licensed images across many of the image sources listed here.
It can also help with finding freely licensed animations, audio and videos.

Public Domain resources should have either the Public Domain Mark 1.0 or the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication mark visible. Non-Public Domain resources should not be added to this list. Listing is ordered alphabetically.

Here's a zine I made about zines; what they are, a little about their history, how to make them, what to do with them, and where to find them. The content is taken directly from the Powerpoint slides I use in my zine workshops, along with some extras. It's US-centric in its information, but I think people outside the US may still find it useful. Feel free to make copies and share, but make sure the credit to me and Creative Commons license info is present on the back page and don't sell it for profit. If you use anything I wrote or drew in the zine, please credit me.

Instructions for printing: Print the zine double sided at 100%. Stack the pages with the page that has the cover on top. Cut down the center (horizontally) of the stack and put the lower stack under the upper stack. Staple at the center of the stack and fold the zine into a booklet. Here's a blog post with photos showing how to do this: https://oliviareadszines.wordpress.com/2018/02/05/assembling-a-1-4-size-zine/

Bookbinding 101: Five-Hole Pamphlet Stitch guide

Today I'm thrilled to introduce a guest DIY mini-series on bookbinding! This month's family theme lends itself so nicely to scrapbook, photo album and memory book projects, so I thought this series would be perfect for anyone wanting to make their own. I hope you'll enjoy it. Take it away, Pooja! - Grace

Hi, everyone! My name is Pooja Makhijani, and I'm a writer, editor, teacher and New Yorker living in Singapore. I first learned basic bookbinding at the Center for the Book Arts in Chelsea, New York City, and continued my studies as a creative writing graduate student at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York.

My avocation became a vocation in 2010 when my partner and I left our beloved New York City for adventure in Singapore. I left behind a strong book arts community in the States and was eager to find or create one in my new home in Asia. So, in 2011, I launched a series of classes via my blog. Soon after, I was featured in The Straits Times, the national broadsheet, and became the go-to gal for book arts on this tiny island. Most recently, I've entered a long-term partnership with the National Arts Council to bring the book arts to as many as possible.

In my classes, I encourage students to look at the book or book-like structure as an art object and not merely as a vessel for their content. I remind them that all the elements of an artist's book - from the paper to the text and/or images - are deliberately interconnected and work in concert. I've worked with children and senior citizens, and I relish the challenge of sharing my love of this quirky art with those who may not have the access or the means to procure expensive tools and materials. Now I've partnered with my friend Claire Dalgliesh - blogger, crafter, artist and fellow Singapore resident - to bring to you three easy bookbinding techniques. This series of posts by no means encompasses everything there is to know about book making, but I hope that it will inspire you to explore more! - Pooja

The full instructions (and additional resources for bookbinding) continue after the jump . . .

Simple bookbinding requires no heavy equipment. All you need are a needle and scissors and a few other minor tools.

When I lived in the States, I purchased my supplies from New York Central Art Supply in New York City or Paper Source in Brooklyn. Now I order my supplies online, often in bulk, from Talas, a New York City-based supplier of bookbinding tools and materials with a comprehensive online store.

Tools

1 bone folder - a flat, polished tool made of bone or plastic used to score a fold in the paper into a permanent position

2 3/8″ x 19 gauge (blunt tip) bookbinding needle

1 pair of scissors

1 steel ruler

1 binder's awl, a tool used for piercing sewing stations, or the holes through which the needle and thread can pass through

Materials

1 roll unbleached French linen thread

5 sheets A4 (8.3″ x 11.7″) paper for pages

1 sheet decorative A4 (8.3″ x 11.7″) paper for cover

Instructions
Folding a sheet in half yields a folio. A signature is a compilation of two or more loose folios. The simplest method of binding a single signature codex, or a book bound on one edge, is with a pamphlet stitch. In this technique, the cover and signature are sewn at once. There are three basic variations of the pamphlet stitch: the three-hole (station), the four-hole and the five-hole. Today, I'll share a tutorial for my favorite variation - the five-hole pamphlet stitch.

1. Using your bone folder, fold each of the five "pages" in half and nest them together.

2. Fold the "cover" in half.

3. Using your ruler and a pencil, mark five sewing stations. Station 3 is exactly in the center of the spine. Stations 2 and 4 are equidistant from the center. (I marked them 1.5″ from Station 1.) Stations 1 and 5 are equidistant from Stations 2 and 4. (I marked them 1.5″ from Stations 2 and 4, respectively.)

4. Using your awl, pierce the sewing stations.

6. To bind: Begin on the inside at Station 3. Pull your needle through Station 3. Pull all but 2″ of the thread to the outside.

12. Go through Station 2 to the outside.

Additional Resources

Kevin Smith's Non-Adhesive Binding (Volumes I-V): This series of books is a book arts student's bible. These incredible reference texts are a must-have.

ABC of Bookbinding by Jane Greenfield is an illustrated glossary covering terms related to bookbinding and the book.

Bookbinding: The Classic Arts and Crafts Manual by Douglas Cockerell is a classic work of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England and covers every aspect of the craft - from folding and collating pages to designing and inlaying on leather.

Book Arts Web is a collection of book arts sites on the web, including professional organizations, tutorials, reference materials and galleries with images. It's also the home of the Book_Arts-L, a listserv with a treasure trove of technical tips, announcements and helpful banter.

Get a head start on your next zine or social media collage with these 35 completely free texture overlays. Add depth and style to your images, typography, and layouts.

The zine look is a major design trend for 2019, and what better way to kick-start your intro to this DIY style than with 35 zine-worthy free textures?

Whether you overlay them onto images or use them to grunge up text, these textures were created to add on-trend dirt and damage to even the most prim and proper subject matter. The zine look is based in collage, so feel free to layer these up and throw precision out the window. Even if you're not making a zine, these textures are an easy way to create a grungy and worn look to your social posts, web layouts, print art and more. Think of them as the rips, pins, and patches you might use to make a fresh pair of jeans look like a decades old heirloom. With '80s and '90s throwbacks dominating the creative world, these textures are a win-win for all your channels.

What's Included in This Pack of 35 Free Zine Texture Overlays?

You'll get 35 texture image files featuring different materials, prepared for immediate use. Drag these .jpgs right into Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign and use blend modes to add their textured features on top of images and typography.

Photocopiers played a huge role in facilitating the growth, and expansion of zines. With very few resources and even less money, artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, musicians and more could makes hundreds of copies of their unique zine to distribute amongst friends and fans. With copying came re-copying, and several generations after their beginning, zines gained the the warped, dirty, blotchy, scratchy, splattered look we know and love.

The development of digital zines doesn't abandon the rough character, either. With these zine textures you can not only mimic the look of an over-copied paper zine, but also use the textures from materials inherent to urban, industrial environs from which many zines came.

With these 35 free zine texture overlays, you'll get:

Rusty, pitted metal surfaces

Rough textured walls

Rocky concrete with artistic paint splashes

Worn layers of asphalt

Dirty, unmown grass

While you're making your collage or digital zine to share on social media, contrast your bright colors with these action-packed textures. Or, turn them into the brightly colored textures to play against other design elements. Juxtaposition is a major theme in art, especially zine art, and these give you another tool in your toolbox to bring more curious eyes to your message.

How to Use Your Zine Texture Overlays

We wouldn't leave you hanging, wondering what to do with all these cool files. Here are some suggested uses to fully employ the power of these textures, along with some inside tips to go even farther. If you're new to these design applications, we've included links to learn about useful techniques.

This pack features overlays, which means you'll need some awesome art to layer them onto. This collection of collage images features some of our favorite artwork in the Zine Culture trend. But the beauty of zines is that the subject matter is totally up to you - use these texture overlays to grunge up seamless patterns, lovely Valentine's Day photos, or your own personal pictures.

Use Blend Modes

To create a grungy overlay that takes your design back to Xerox times, open your image in Photoshop and simply drag a texture file onto your image window to create a texture layer. Click the blend modes drop-down list and choose one that creates your desired effect.
Tip: For best results, try the blend modes Color Burn, Color Dodge, and Vivid Light first.

We used this photo of a young woman with crimped hair - very '90s! You can find similar images by searching for portraits on Shutterstock. Or, check out the collections of Evgeniya Porechenskaya and Olesya Tseytlin for layered collages and zany pop art that serves as a perfect canvas for these textures.

Use Multiple Textures

Layer up different textures to create even more depth. If one doesn't satisfy your anarchic goals of destruction, try two, or three, or five.

Position them all around the artboard to cherry-pick their best attributes, enlarge them, or rotate them to cover new areas - do whatever you want to get that grungy vibe.

Use Clipping Masks

If you want to only use certain parts of a texture overlay, use clipping, or layer masks to hide or reveal it. Select the desired texture layer, then hit the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers window.

Select the Brush tool, or hit B on the keyboard. Choose black for the foreground color and paint in the mask to hide those parts, revealing the layer beneath. For added choppiness, get the paper cut-out look by holding Shift while clicking your paint spots. Set the Hardness to 100% and adjust brush size according to desired level of detail.

Change Colors for Clashing Color Palettes

These texture overlays come preset to black, but you can change the colors of your textures with just a few click. When you drag a texture file to an image, make the layer a Smart Object by right-clicking on the layer, and choosing Convert to Smart Object. Then, simply double-click the layer's icon to open it as a separate file.

After opening, go to Image > Mode > Duotone in the top menu bar. Leave the Type: on Monotone. Click the colored square to open the Color Picker window, choose your color, and hit OK.

Adjust the intensity and contrast via curves by clicking the Curves icon to the left of the Color icon, or just leave it as-is.

Mandatory Step: After you change the color of the file in Duotone or Monotone, go back to Image > Mode > and choose the color mode of the original image file that you uploaded, probably either CMYK or RGB. THEN hit save and close that file. If you don't, Photoshop will try to save the Smart Object as a .psd file in the very buried Temporary Items folder, where Smart Object files are stored. Trust me, you cannot find this folder to access these files.

Now back in the original file, you'll see your newly colored texture.

Turn Textures into Vector Files

You can turn these textures into vectors so that you can scale them up and down, and manipulate them even further. Use them to add rough character to your vector art and icons, to match your zine style with the crispness vectors provide.

Drag a texture file to an open Illustrator canvas. With the texture selected, hit V to engage the Selection Tool.

Go up to the Menu bar and hit Live Trace. As these are high contrast and high resolution images, the default setting is usually fine. Feel free to click the drop down list for various quality and detail options.

If you want to use these textures in tandem with other vector art, don't forget to check out some of our vector images on Shutterstock. Here are tons of seamless pizza patterns, kawaii illustrations (another one of 2019's biggest design trends), and 3D designs that would look great with these rough texture overlays.

Add Textures to Typography

Make your typography stand out with texture overlays in Photoshop. Use all the above techniques on type, just by making a selection and masking it out. Here's how:

Position the texture layer above the type layer. With your type set how you want it, hold Command and then click the layer's icon in the Layers window, making an exact selection around the type. Click back on the texture layer to activate it, then hit the Add layer mask icon at the bottom of the Layers window. Presto - textured type.

Now you either link the type and texture layers to make sure they stay perfectly aligned, or move them around for a more tattered, offset look.

These are just a few ways to use our free texture overlays to get the Zine Culture look. Mix up your approach with unique photos and vectors, or try your hand at footage! The trend doesn't stop at images - we also have music collections and video clips inspired by this bright and bold aesthetic.
