elitenaildesign Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I am finding nothing but flaky clipart. I am trying to make some labels to put on my new white oval boxes I got today (Thanks again Malinda). Since I am on a very small scale of selling these soaps, I dont want to go through too much trouble making these labels, but good clipart can really make or break a label. Well atleast mine.

elitenaildesign Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 That is the website I am getting flaky clipart from. I am looking for things related to scents, floral, ect. But most from microsoft clipart are kind of . For instance "Love Spell", you would have something with a heart right, not too difficult, But those are really generic. Anyhoo, just wondering if there were any better websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliverOfWax Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Considering there are 63 pages of heart clip art, 15 hearts per page, and that's not counting other media, if you can't find something there, I can't imagine where you will find it. Hearts are pretty generic. A heart is, after all, a heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I have a question. I've never used clip art, but is it true that if we do decide to use some clip art on our labels, etc...that we can only use "royalty free" clip art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth-VT Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Not necessarily even 'royalty free' gets you off the hook. The site Sliver points to is free, but not for commercial use. As is the case with most easily obtainable clip-art, you are not allowed to use it as part of your own logo, or on any item you sell commercially. You are allowed to use it for promotional purposes, such as brochures, flyers, etc., but not for labels on your products.Images in the public domain are free of commercial restrictions, but much harder to find. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melpitt Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It's true you can not use clipart or graphics that are copyrighted. I am a graphic artist and design my graphics. Today it's all the rave about artists sueing others us for using thier graphics with out permission. Be sure to read the artists term of use before using the graphics. There are a few graphic artists that allow you to use them for commercial use. I would try a google search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyd'Light Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 http://www.fotosearch.com/clip-art/This link has a lot of royalty free clip art. Hope you find what you're looking for!It's not free...didn't read far enough. Sorry, I'm still looking for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_513 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If you know what exactly you want and yo can't find it on the web, why don't you design it yourself. That's what I do. I love mine and no trouble with royalties and such. What is wrong with what you are finding....wrong color, wrong style, maybe if your are more specific. I thought some of the things on those pages were nice.Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladysj Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Oh Mag thank you so much for finding this and sharing I've found so many pictures that I think would work for my "Little Rock Lather & Lights Logo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsglass Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hey, you're welcome! I love that site. I could spend hours going through all those photos. (What am I saying? I have!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I would love to design my own but not have the first clue as to how to go about it. Any suggestions as to where/how I would find instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions as to where/how I would find instructions?I PM'd you We use photoshop for all of our designs. If you know what you want then IMO it's easier to create it than to try and find it already made. The hard part is coming up with what you want, once you know what you want then creating it isn't as hard as most people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
