help finding royalty-free vector art
Hi fellas,

I need to get my hands on some royalty-free vector art (edit : design elements is actually what I'm after) like this :

(all above from iStockPhoto)

Sort of flourishy, victorian, ornate, old-world.

I'm doing a product design course and this is for a mockup of some packaging, and I want it to look killer.

Anyone got anything like this bookmarked, or am I dreaming (again)..?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Also try here:

deviantART: where ART meets application!

Most all free but some is paid there is a really good chance you will find what you are after there with a little searching.

Why don't you get them from iStock? They're dirt cheap and they have loads of vector art.

Thanks guys.

jdub - I had a look at veer but couldn't really find what I was looking for. Interesting site though.

rob05 - I'm looking through deviantart now. Hopefully something will come up. What I was looking for was actual eps vector data that I just use as a smart object in PS CS3 - and I don't know if DA allows you to download the .ai or .eps? OH WAIT - just found this!

'sactly what I'm looking for!

Gerbils : Yeah i suppose, but I didnt want the hassle of signing up on istock and then doing the credit card thing. Plus it was annoying that they didn't have prices in any currency, just in 'credits'. How much is '10 credits' anyway?

xilefa : that looks like an awesome app, I would be totally on to that but I'm proficient enough in illustrator and photoshop.

By the way I DID try live trace (if anyone was thinking that) but it doesn't work out so well with low res JPGs.. I also felt bad for mis-appropriating art but i suppose, it's all knocked off victorian carvings and stuff anyway..
