There are many free Illustrator brushes, symbols, color swatches, textures, etc on the Internet. These resources help to make a web designer/developer's work much easier. Imagine the time you will save when you don't have to create everything from scratch. I have just begun collecting some of these resources and offering them on my site. I will offer more as time allows.
