Sometimes the results are absolutely hilarious, while others are innovative and highly useful. Today, we’re going to focus on the latter, with an assortment of new tools and resources discovered by TNW team and our readers.

Of course this isn’t a definitive list and there’s room for more (note: we’ve done this before). If we left out a resource or tool that deserved a mention, definitely share it with us in the comments below!

11 New apps, resources & goodies

1. CS6 & Creative Cloud: Though it may just be a new pricing model after all, Creative Cloud and the brand new Creative Suite 6 should still be on the radar of every designer (Read: Everything You Need to Know About CS6 and Creative Cloud).
