Web Graphics -- Where do I get 'em?

1. Find them on the Web
Perhaps the fastest and least painful option! See the Graphics Section of the Web References Masterlist for some places to start.

2. Make them yourself
Even graphics found on the Net will generally need to be modified. Here's a few sources for more information on graphics applications.

Download.com maintains a catalog of freeware and shareware graphics apps for PC and MAC.

3. Buy them
Photo and ClipArt CDs are an option for those with the bucks. PhotoDisc, Inc. is one example of a company that sells ready-made graphics for websites.

4. Scan them in/Digital Cameras
A nice tutorial on basic scanning from U. of Kentucky.
