Graphic Resources 2 May 27, 06

0

In a spirit of giving inspired by DesignBum, I’ve decided to offer some of the graphic resources that I’ve found handy over the years. Over the next week or so (at least until I run out of stuff to give away), you can look forward to free downloads of Illustrator files, images, and textures.

Part two is a badge. But it’s not just a simple starburst-style badge, this one has scalloped edges, and those aren’t easy to make. I used Bartleme’s Photoshop tutorial as a starting point and recreated this bad boy with Illustrator’s vectory goodness.

My only request of those who download this artwork: if you use this in any your projects, send me a screenshot, URL, or printed sample.

Enjoy!

I’ll set it off with a generic mobile phone I recently created in Illustrator. This is loosely based on the ubiquitous RAZR, and it’s great for mockups, demos, etc.

So in a previous post, I suckered scored readers with a mislead compelling headline. Little did I know, there’s a name for that — an indirect headline. I stumbled across this tidbit on copyblogger, a great site about writing for the wild, wild web.

In fact, there’s a whole series, Copywriting 101, that’s loaded with great tips for bloggers, marketers, and anyone else who writes for the web.
