Envato Notes
Using stock content is a quick and sure way to get a job done faster, and often ensures a more professional look while keeping the budget under control. The items presented here are best purchased as a batch—they’re hand-picked to fit a certain theme, and sure to obtain jaw-dropping results when used together.
Keep your eyes peeled for future articles, where I’ll continue to recommend handy collections of items that fit together like a glove.

As many of you might already know, the Review Team is growing quickly! I wanted to take a moment to introduce two fairly recent additions to the team — Kate and Sergey.
As we’ve been intensely growing the team I’ve fallen behind on team introductions so both Kate and Sergey have already been with us for several months and have also already cranked out stellar work on many big projects. So it’s with great pleasure I introduce to you Kate and Sergey and tell you a bit about them and some of what they’ve been working on.
Congratulations to our sixth Power Elite author, Brandon Jones of MDNW (Make Design, Not War), formerly EpicEra. Brandon likes to keep things small, and designs and develops all the products himself, getting some help with customer support and bookkeeping from his brother and wife. “We produce stuff that we think is useful, and we treat our customers like we would our friends.” A million dollars later, that simple motto seems to work!
We asked Brandon a few questions about the journey to the $1,000,000 milestone. Read on to find out the secret behind his success, what makes MDNW special and how it feels to reach a $1,000,000 worth of sales!
