Anyone know any good resources (sites) for free vector art of general stuff? (in this case a snow flake)

Cheers

I imagine running a Google for free font snowflake dingbat will turn up the goods.

e.g. http://www.acidfonts.com/dingbats6.htm

Alt: for $22 there's an 'all the snow you can eat' buffet at AGFA.

Illustrator & Flash, but I could use Photoshop if necessary.

no what i meant is in photoshop inder custome shapes there are snowflakes.

you could simple draw your star using the shape , save the path, make a work path and export the path to illustartor

easy.....

Oh I see. Another good idea, chairs

Bill Posters · 18-12-2003, 07:35

Mik, did the snowflake custom shape come as an extra?
I'm using 7.01 and there's no snowflake in there.

i use a font called 'p22 snowflakes' which was a free download from somewhere. a different flake for every letter. allows you to do things like this: www.thebigfriendlyhouse.com - doesn't work in mozilla. and its almost shameful, but i like it for a day's work.

Well remembered, that man.

why not design things using fonts tsk tsk

Brown · 18-12-2003, 08:37

what's the problem? its a faaackin snowflake? fonts are a great way of sharing vector files with people who don't have the software or knowledge on how to use them (vectors). company logos for instance. safe as houses and a fine output everytime. don't give a monkey's anyway...

sleepingfish:you are such a lazy git!

there are some nice and simple "snow flakes" in Wingdings 2 (windows only? -not sure)
...or use a fractal program to make a really complex one.

Mr Fred · 18-12-2003, 09:16

maybe from adobe bill cant remember - if you go the studio thingie there are millions of shapes that can be installed and modified.

brown - get off you box - season of festival fun
