also best font sites other than myfonts, house, dafont ,etc?
have a couple of collections by artistic edge if there still around, use different corel collections, and have old clickart brands. most of the purchased clip art is expensive and the odds of just the right item, weeelll. the art explosion brand has enough variation to use for base illustrations- for instance i use bowlers to build softball players because the basic form is close. delete a little, erase some- print redraw scan and vector. there are many graphics of items easy to modify. then insert wild type and your golden. fonts are the same display faces can be one off- but if you look for similarities the odd characters can be built without a lot of investment in time looking for a font that might have ten names and still will cost money for one job
The big problem I have is organizing all the clip art. Explosion is well organized but some stuff is just a bunch of miscellaneous vectors in one file.
one of my best ideas was to re-burn the images to dvd. i was able to consolidate @20 something discs to 2 dvds. still need the reference book but it is far simpler. included the bitmaps because if you rework it anyway the vectoring gives the ability to resize.
