Make Your Own Graphics

  • Make Your Own Links This page is a collection of my favorite sites on the web where you can create your own graphic headers, banners, and buttons as well as edit online. These sites do not offer more power than photoshop, but they are much easier to use and much cheaper. The following are some of the best sites from that page.
  • Flaming Text
  • Cool Archive
  • 3d Text Maker

Graphic Search Engines

  • Google Images Google has the best search engine by far. I except its image search to be just as good.
  • Altavista Graphics Search- A powerful site. I typed in "trains" and got 500 images about 1/3 of which were actually useful. The coolest feature of this site is it return thumbnails of the images found so that you have some idea what you getting before you click.
  • C-Net Image Search a meta-search page for graphics. You can use this site to search up to nine different graphics sites (in any combination).

Starting Points

  • Absolute Web Graphics http://www.grsites.com/webgraphics/
  • Free Graphics What is cool about this site is the effort the author has put into categorizing and filtering these sites. It can take a while to get to real pictures, but the results are almost always worth it.
  • Web Design Studio An interesting site with a wide range of resources.
