Hunting for Treasure : Finding Great Graphics and Clip Art
Cutting through the junk-le to find the best clip art and fonts
Thousands of images in GIF and JPG format are available online - many offered "free" for personal use. If you search for clip art by keyword, you'll discover most links lead to tiny pictures, or to more text links that lead to other link lists that ultimately connect you to graphics directories - arrrgggh. It can be tiresome just tracking down a single good clip art image. You get the picture (no pun intended).
Today's search technology is friendlier for clip art hunters; many search engines now display image results or text links.
Peruse the resources in this lens, and if you find a graphic, border, photo or other creative element you want to use, be sure to check the copyright-owner's terms of use to insure you don't violate copyright laws.
Sometimes all you need to do is ask for permission to use the art, or to link back to the copyright owner's web site. If you feature a graphic or clip art picture on your lens or blog, be sure to link to the HTML page where you found the image. That will clearly show your source and the site's terms of use.
It's your responsibility to determine whether you can reuse a piece of art or written material you didn't create, and if so, the terms of how you're allowed to use it.

Graphics File Formats and Sizes
What type graphics work should I use?
You can browse to pages of small pictures in several formats and quality levels, then you can follow the link from each to see if your favorite clip will work for your project.
GIF, JPG (low resolution), PNG, SVG
For online viewing you only need a low resolution (72 dpi - dots per inch) bitmap (raster image) graphic. You can't make bitmap graphics larger without pixelation, but you can make them smaller without losing quality.
GIF and JPG format graphics display well for web sites and blogs. Most newer browsers will also display PNG and SVG graphics satisfactorily.
TIF, PNG, JPG (high resolution)
Bitmap graphics in large sizes or higher resolutions work well for printed projects. Try to use a graphic with at least 100 dpi for office or home printer projects. For commercial print jobs, you'll need a 300 dpi graphic or photograph.
EPS, AI, WMF, SVG, DXF
Vector graphics are infinitely resizeable and perfect for print work. Most vector images do not play well on web sites and blogs. You'll need a graphics program that can modify vector images in order to export a web-compatible bitmap graphic (GIF, JPG, PNG) from the original vector image.

Using Clip Art Graphics for Creative Projects
Clip Art - It's Not Just for Printing or Web Design
Many free-for-personal-use graphics you find online are ideal for making fun and frugal clip art paper crafts, quick print labels, party lists, decorations and signs for your own home or classroom projects. You can use JPG and GIF graphics in any word processing program, resize and organize them using Picasa, and modify them with MSPaint or PhotoShop or any other graphics program.
You can also simply print, cut and glue online images to make paper collages, decorative crafts, greeting cards or decoupage creations.
Your creative options aren't limited to publishing, web design or paper crafts. You can use clip art and "found" graphics for other clip art crafts including home sewing, quilting, iron on transfers, plastic crafts, stickers and 3-dimensional crafts.
Digital Graphics Storage
External Hard Drives to Back Up or Transport Files
If you've ever had a hard drive crash you know how painful it can be to lose years of work and precious files. I back up all my graphics and projects to external media that I can protect from possible disaster or system failure. I copy essential graphics files, projects and photos to external media - CDs, jump drives, flash memory cards and portable hard drives - to ensure I won't lose any files.
Clip Art Tutorials
How to save, copy, change and use free clip art.
Saving free graphics you've found online is easier than you think with a Windows PC.
Simply position your mouse pointer over the clip art image, then right click on the graphic. This will pop up a dialog box; choose Save As from the options to save a copy of the same graphic on your computer's hard drive or to removeable media. You can use the existing filename, or name the clip art image with a descriptive name that will help you identify it later. Remember where you saved your clip art so you can find it later. Better still, create a folder or directory named Clip Art and store your graphics in sub folders by category or artist name. Be sure to check Terms of Service and copyright information for any online graphics you find and save.

Photographs as Clip Art
Photographic sites are a treasure trove of pictures to use for projects, ideas, collages and crafts. Many photos are available in sizes that are big enough to use as a computer wallpaper or screensaver, or to make a calendar, poster or greeting card.
Finding Free Photographs
You can find wonderful photographs online that have been released into the public domain. If you're using a photo for personal use you can generally use any photo or graphic you find online.
At Morguefile and BurningWell, photographers grant liberal use of the photos they post and make available. Some photos posted at Flickr are okay to use for commercial projects, but others are just for viewing. Always confirm you aren't infringing on copyrights if you plan to publish, distribute or sell anyone else's work.
If you find a photo but need to modify it, you can find free tools online to do that, too. Check out Picasa, Phixr or Pixenate. Picasa is a free download you install from the Google suite, or as part of the Google Pack; Phixr is a nifty little web-based tool and Pixenate is all that and more.

Many free graphics sites permit use of low-resolution clip art for personal use but do not permit commercial use or redistribution. Most "free" graphic sites request that you post a text link to their site to credit them as the copyright owner and original artist if you use their clip art, fonts or photos. Others may require registration before you can download and use images for any purpose.
Never develop a collection of free graphics, photographs, media or fonts to sell or distribute without permission from the copyright owners. Don't use free graphics for products you sell unless the terms of use clearly state you may do so.
Always get permission from the owner if you plan to use a free graphic for a commercially printed item or to make goods for sale on Zazzle, CafePress or other creative outlets.
Some graphics sites permit commercial use and/or derivative works from their free images. For example, there are many images available in WikeMedia, Library of Congress and in other collections that make use of Creative Commons Share/Share Alike/Attribution copyright form.

- Wow, what a lot of great info. I learned something about copyright. Also, I had been wondering about making my own clip art when I couldn't find the right image. I will definitely use this page again.

- A site I really like is http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ She uploads a new image each and every day. Her site is searchable and she has some great stuff for scrapbooking/crafting. I am in no way related to the author of the site. I just like it.

Make sure you're using copyright free graphics, or credit the creative owner
After you find that special graphic, you need to check whether or not you can legally use the image without payment or creative credit. Some graphics are free for personal use while others are in the public domain. Many artists all over the world (in all types of media) use Creative Commons licensing to state and manage rights to their work.
The important things to remember are: be sure you can legally use the graphics, and don't link to graphics on another web site without authorization.
Download the clipart you want to use to your computer, and then upload it to your blog, web page or lens, or to your filesharing service like Flickr or Webshots if the terms of use permit this action. Often you can upload to a sharing server if you're only using the image for your own publishing. You generally can't upload free clip art to sharing sites without permission or license.
Unless the copyright owner gives you permission to link to their graphic directly, or if their terms of service require you to link to the graphic on their site or blog, you should never directly link to a clipart image or photo on the Internet.
The exception to this is if you store copyright free files on your own web server, or if you upload public domain graphics to a file sharing service.
