onjegolders Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Thought I'd point out a fantastic resource for placeholder images. Rather than the usual grey boxes or kittens... http://www.hhhhold.com The usual /300x400 urls apply. Also if you want to avoid seeing the same images crop up again and again, you can use a tiny js file https://github.com/ThisIsJohnBrown/hhhhold-js You won't go back! 5
MatthewSchenker Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Greetings onjegolders, Thanks for the link. Always like to see nice placeholder resources. Now, if there were only a resource that forced clients to upload proper photos on a live site... Thanks again, Matthew 2
onjegolders Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 I know what you mean Matthew! I'm just going through the sad process of removing the auto-generated ones from hhhhold (very cool images) with company ones and it's depressing as the site looks worse for it!
fmgujju Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I use http://lorempixel.com, it similar as hhhold.com.
MarcC Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I started using lorempixel yesterday, and I like that they have different categories of images. So I can do lorempixel.com/640/480/sports/3 to get the third image from the "sports" category. That's very helpful and allows you to get closer to what a client might have in mind I do like that hhhhold lets you specify dark/bright and the JS thing is cool.
onjegolders Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 I like http://placehold.it/ That's what I always use too when it comes to wireframing but when you want actual images, the other two are pretty good.
