Street Fighter was unleashed 22 years ago by legendary video-game developer CAPCOM, becoming a worldwide phenomenon and the most popular game in its genre. It set trends in the video game industry, producing dozens of unforgettable characters that have entered pop culture.
Over time, characters such as Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Vega and Bison have become increasingly recognizable and well liked — popular enough, in fact, to be featured in cartoon series and even films.
Certain artists and designers work very hard to create inspiring Street Fighter art. Today, we’ve compiled illustrations, tutorials and wallpapers that are sure to take you back to the classic video game. Feel free to share your opinion about what you see. We’d love to hear from you.

Every graphic designer will end up, at some point, with a client who needs an icon designed. Going into the project, your first idea would be to use your experience, training and creativity and dive straight into the project gung-ho. In some occasions, doing this could be disastrous. Ideally, you should learn the basic principles of icon design first, the importance and functions of icons on web sites and in user interfaces, the difference between icon and logo designs, and most importantly, how to use your imagination and creativity to reflect the characteristics of the icon effectively.

This holiday season, we’ve decided to give more to our readers by starting a series of free design resource roundups. In these roundups, we’ll compile the fresh free picks of the week, from fonts, brushes, patterns, and textures, to contests, giveaways, and tutorials. Hope you like the roundup for this week, and let us know if you’d like us to include other stuff!
