DavidV Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Here is an activity that some of you will find enjoyable and give you a chance to shape this website. I would like to replace ALL the graphics used on this site, and add new images where appropriate. Unfortunately, going through graphics catalogs is a time consuming activity that I don’t have much experience in. So, I would like your help in picking new graphics for this site, especially for the essay section. There are a number rolyalty-free image catalogs on the web such as StockXCHNG and Microsoft Clipart Gallery, though you are welcome to use your own images or sources. If you find a photo you think would be appropriate, either post the URL or upload the photo with your post. If there are (free) photos you particularly like, but are not sure where they would fit, please submit them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinorityOfOne Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 GC, you might want to poke around on Lee Sandstead's website. (http://www.sandstead.com) He has a ton of great photos on there, and I'd be surprised if he wouldn't let you use some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted May 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Thanks for the links! I am also looking for close-ups, since the images I use have to be somewhat small – can anyone recommend some of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
