The Morgue File




The “morgue file” sounds a little sinister, doesn’t it? In the newspaper business, it’s actually the name given to the file that holds past issues. The phrase is also sometimes used by illustrators and graphic designers when referring to a file of samples, previous works, or reference materials used for inspiration for new projects.

You can find a free morgue file online at MorgueFile.com. which contains hundreds of photographs. All of the photos are posted by individuals who want to share their work with others – and there is no cost to you. You can download any of the free images to use for your own inspiration or as reference material for your art. If you are also a photographer, you can share your images here as well.
