From now on I'll be posting all my art releases there, instead of here.<br />
<br />
To celebrate the occasion, I have released 6 new CC-BY licensed works for you to use.<br />

That would most likely violate someone's copyright and get you into a heap of legal trouble. <br /> <br />So what are you supposed to do if you don't have a camera or any photography talent? <br /> <br />Stock photos? Sounds good, but most stock photos cost money. <br /> <br />Creative Commons licensed photos from Flickr? That could be good too, but that requires a link back and there may be restrictions against commercial use. Can you imagine having to put a long Flickr URL on every t-shirt and mousepad you make? How would you go about giving proper credit on a small 125x125 ad? And if you are making web templates it might not be the best idea to trust people that use your templates to keep the attribution links intact. <br /> <br />So where can you get a whole bunch of great photos to use, that don't require an attribution link, won't cost you a dime, and allow for commercial use, too? <br /> <br />Fortunately for you, I have done some research into this and found quite a few sources. <br />

Do you know of a stock photo site that I might have missed that will allow you to use their images commercially, without attribution? Leave me a link in a comment.Apphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-47332275779474209482009-06-15T13:25:00.002-04:002012-03-05T16:29:45.695-05:00Free Buttons: Top Ten (CC-BY)A long time ago I created a set of buttons for use on my old art website, to number pages.<br />
<br />
Back in those days, I was kind of careless and stupid concerning saving the original templates for my artwork. Instead I saved one blank button with a black background, to match that site, which means I can only use those buttons on sites with black backgrounds.<br />
<br />
I really liked those buttons a lot, so I recreated them from scratch today, in much better quality than the originals.<br />
<br />
<img alt="sample: Top Ten buttons" height="220" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_qlCAUZtia6Q/SjaD9lfBIwI/AAAAAAAAA1U/8PfrfxQ8TSA/sample%5B6%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="sample: Top Ten buttons" width="275" /><br />
<div align="center">
<i>(shown actual size)</i></div>
<br />
With transparent backgrounds, they can now be used on any color website. I also made a set with a slight drop shadow, so they would stand out more on lighter backgrounds.<br />

Just give credit by linking back to this site on any page that you use them, or in your about box if you use them in a desktop application.<br />
<br />
Besides using them to number pages, I think they would be great for numbering items in all those “Top 10” lists that so many bloggers seem to be fond of.<br />
<br />
And in case you want to do a top 20 list, I have included .psp and .psd source files of both versions, so you can edit and make more buttons (or change the font).<br />

<br />
Inspired by the trend on a lot of the design blogs to use flourishes and swirly looking things, I decided to take a crack at it and create a pack of images that would be suitable for anyone that designs Wordpress themes, website templates, or just if you want to use it on your own website or blog. Commercial use is OK, do as you wish, just don't offer them for download (together or individually) or claim you made them. You have to make something with them.<br />
<br />
There is a total of 60 PNG images in this pack:<br />
<ul>
<li>1 image with a transparent background</li>
<li>1 image with a white background</li>
<li>29 images with various gradient backgrounds</li>
<li>29 matching gradients images to be used as page or element backgrounds.</li>
</ul>

Perfect for a food related site or blog, you may use these any way you wish. Use them to decorate your site, create a logo, make a banner, insert them into posts, printed newsletters, restaurant menus, etc.<br />
<br />
There are 26 different images, each with dropshadow, png format, each in 2 styles, both transparent and white backgrounds.<br />
<br />
If you like these, let me know and I'll make more. If you use them on your site or blog, share a link so I can see.<br />
