Free & of Good Quality Libraries for the designer

2003-05-05

Hello,

Which Free or Non-free libraries do you use to integrate into your designs?

I don't mean entry-level clipart libraries that come with something like Microsoft Word, but HIGH quality images that can be adjusted for size (so it is better if its a vector library), color applied, then used as a part of your web/print designs. (Kinda like the free common libraries that come with Flash)

I searched for a while today, but could not find anything decent.

I know that some of us like to keep these "trade secrets" to ourselves, but still.. i thought we'd give it a shot.

Thanks

My secret is... draw what you need by yorself!!

those are YOUR designs, so why integrate free or non-free libraries?

i share the same secret as databhi

I agree with you

However.. I am not a very good drawer. I can design around photography, layout, video, audio, actionscript, but when it comes do drawing i produce mediocre results.

Most of the site is complete, but i kinda need small (25x25) or scalable down, good quality buttons that represent links like Satellite Services, About Us, etc. --

Easy. For example use Wingdings. Or draw vectorally over something, scale it down. Or just draw a small satellite icon or an envelope, but i want to look around, see if it can be even better. On the overall layout i see that if it would help if i added something in the quality of say, XP icons. Another issue is time.

That's why i need that help.

In terms of sites or links I mean.

Thanks.

hey, databhi is very friendly too!

anyway, pusherman.. you can try searching on photospin.com or istockphoto.com.... but usually those clipart graphics are not really good...

the main problem with stock clipart is to find a series that match.
