What do you dislike about Creative Market?

Although designs are excellent, some prices are just abusive, but how can we judge the effort into it?. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Market:

If you are looking for excellent quality and exclusive assets (not like those in iStock or Shutterstock) that not everyone has to avoid your designs look the same, Creative Market for me has proved to be a nice option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually use it as inspiration for design projects and also buy some icons or illustrations to complement my design; this way, I can impress and satisfy low-budget clients who don't care about original design stuff for their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

What I like best about Creative Market is it's easy-to-search interface and and the breadth of options available. If you're looking for a font or stock images you know you can go there and find something, if not the perfect thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

The amount of options is also a double-edged sword. It can take a lot of time to find the exact thing you're looking for or you can spend a lot of time just getting distracted by options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Market:

Sign up for their newsletter to get free design assets - if you don't need them you don't have to download them. If you're looking for affordable design elements it's a pretty standard go-to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creative Market is a one stop shop for graphics, fonts, visuals and other graphic design needs for someone with little graphic design expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They used to have a monthly bundle giving you access to hand picked designs fonts for a set price I really wish they would bring this back and also bring videos edits onto the paltform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would recommend this site. It's easy to use. I'll be using it again in fact this week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

The amazing work by small designers, whose work I would love to purchase under fairer terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

Illegal and unfair customer terms.

Non existent customer service.

Constantly changing pricing and terms of use.

Stealing customers funds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Market:

Go direct to the creatives. Do not condone these shady and illegal business practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is attempting to help my business achieve bankruptcy with illegal terms and non existent customer communication nor service. I had been a long time customer, with a pre paid account balance, when my business underwent forced closures and difficult times during the pandemic. I had a pre paid account balance, which I expected to be able to use when things improved (or to be refunded) However, when I logged on next I was shocked to discover that my funds had been stolen, with a $3.99 USD account inactivity fee charged each month until the balance was gone. This fee had not been included in the terms I agreed to on signing up, however their website terms state that they can change their terms at any time without notice to customers, allowing them to simply take my money. These terms are illegal under Australian consumer law, however their customer service simply chooses to ignore this fact, and the funds will be difficult to recover.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

The site is easy to navigate and very organized. I love that I can type keywords into the search bar to narrow my search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

I don't like the membership they switched to within the last year. I preferred the price structure that they used previously. Since I do not require a monthly membership, it doesn't benefit me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Market:

This is a fantastic platform for seasoned creators as well as new creators. They have a ton of resources to design just about anything. I primarily use it for designing wedding and event stationery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creative Market helps me cut back on design time with the different templates and designs they offer. I also purchase fonts for my business needs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Creative Market helped with:

I have two accounts, one for me and one for my business. I first opened a private account in 2017, and was looking for a cute robot logo for my second business. I found a freelancer and we negotiated a custom logo. Eventually, we chose a different logo, but I stayed with the platform. We usually purchse graphics (and cv templates, when I was still employed), and also appreciate the weekly newsletter with many, many free fonts and graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

The free weekly newsletter offers- and, when looking for paid services, the immense bandwidth of styles and looks available. From instagram and other social templates to CV Templates, fonts, and graphic design- you will find what you're looking for in any style. The menu is also easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

There is nothing to dislike here. If you don't like a style, keep on searching, and you will most likely find what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

When still employed, I found some great CV Templates on creativemarket, we use some of their free stuff from the weekly newsletter, and if I need any other paid graphic design or font, the platform never disappoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Creative Market helped with:

I suggest that some clients buy templates to speed up the engagement on social media like Instagram or Facebook; we adapt these templates to colors, typography, and imagery. Later on, we create guideline styles for the client to continue creating posts according to it until they can afford a specialist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

Creative Market is the only place I've found that sells quality designs for Instagram templates; they are very easy to adapt and not expensive. I can get these templates in multiple formats like PSD or AI, so almost any designer can work with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

There is not much I dislike about Creative Market; I just wish they had more variety of templates, some times is hard to find one that fits not common or exclusive business types or projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creative Market:

If you want exclusive assets, especially templates for Instagram and Facebook, give it a try; pro assets there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

From buying icons and templates, besides other markets from this type, it seems that your credits can last longer, so you don't lose money like other companies that offer similar products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

I found many unique designs and templates for everyday design needs; from templates to illustrations, I think it gathers excellent artists and designers, so the items they sell are from excellent design quality and aesthetics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

Although they have curated artists and designers, for some queries, you find just a couple of assets, come on C.M.; you can do it better, offer better incentives to designers, and promote them more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some design projects require an urgency to get published in such a short time in my company, so we decided to choose some assets necessary to design flyers or graphics for social media using some templates found there. It is a time saver for those clients not willing to invest much or just not in their budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creative Market?

Creative Market has offered me a complete list of mockups for any situation or project; the finish and effects in their mockups make our brand merchandise look amazing and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creative Market?

Some agency abuses their item's pricing. Also found that some templates are not even close to what they really offer or what is included in the package when you bought some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creative Market solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly I found Creative Market a fast and cheap option to start building our merchandising imagery. I also find it very helpful and inspiring the items offered, so we usually get some ideas to implement our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
