Dear Cruisin' Susan,
Please, please tell me... Where the heck do people find all those special fonts and digital graphics?
— Out of the Loop
Dear Loopy,
Read below for some of the best resources I've found for free clip-art and fonts.
— Cruisin' Susan
Good news. There is a TON of free Disney-inspired clip art that can be found on the internet.
Bad news. There is not much free general-themed clip art to be found online.
Why? Many people want to make Disney clip art, but due to Disney copyrights, they are not allowed to sell it or otherwise profit from it.
Where? The website clip-art.com is a reference page with links to general clip art of varying categories and quality. There is excellent free, Disne-inspired clip art at Disneyclips.com and Disney-clipart.com. For an expansive reference page of all sorts of Disney-inspired materials, visit Art Projects at themouseforless.com.
Flickr Photos. In an area called The Commons, this site hosts tons of images with no known copyright restriction. In an area called the Creative Commons it hosts tons of images with an Creative Commons Attribution License. Photos with this licsence are free for personal use as long as you credit the photographer. Try searching one of these areas for your ports of call or other relavant image.
Other online images? Try googling whatever you’re looking for, with the google image searcher.
Got Programs? Do you own a graphics, word processing, greeting card, or calendar making program? They often come with great libraries of digital clip art!
Free Online Fonts. My favorite free (for personal use) font source is dafont.com. They have a ton ranging from regular, to fancy, to foreign-looking, to cartoon. Bonus: Just browsing through these fonts is a great way to get ideas for decorating themes! Looking for Disney-inspired fonts? Look through the Freeware Font section at MickeyAvenue.Com .
