onjegolders Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewSchenker Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onjegolders Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share 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!

FvG Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I like http://placehold.it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmgujju Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I use http://lorempixel.com, it similar as hhhold.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcC Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
