signmike 2 Posted April 28, 2016 How many of you use image websites to for vectors and images? Which ones are the best/most reasonable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted April 28, 2016 I purchased (from eBay auction) the complete MegaVault Clip Art collection (10 dvd's) of tens of thousands of vector graphics. clipartandfonts.com Now, depending on what you are interested in, perhaps there's something in there for you.

MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted April 28, 2016 And although that Megavault collection and any collection on their website says they are CUT READY, you really need to zoom them up first in wire frame, and look them over first, as many, will need fixed first before cutting...or they will bite you in the butt. .. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMoney 91 Posted April 28, 2016 I gave up on a lot of the free vector stuff a while back, the specific ones I needed were just bad traces. Bought a few items off vectorstock.com even some of them still need touch up but its a much better starting point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just starting out, and for the volume I print/make, some of these prices are just unjustifiable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signmike 2 Posted April 28, 2016 Unfortunately I don't need any of the generic stuff yet, nor do I know how to integrate it into designs yet. Still learning illustrator and mostly use SCAL3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted April 28, 2016 I gave up on a lot of the free vector stuff a while back, the specific ones I needed were just bad traces. Bought a few items off vectorstock.com even some of them still need touch up but its a much better starting point. I use vector stock. At $1 each it's the best price around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signmike 2 Posted April 28, 2016 Right, $1 each unless using for print or resale, lol. I suppose some editing would be required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep learning AI you'll earn huge rewards later once you know it. I recommend SignTorch.com if you have specific needs, he does some sweet work. I rarely buy anything preferring to draw my own but I have at least one of his and maybe a few freebies he threw out a while back and they are beautiful. Worth buying a few if for no other reason than to see the standard of how they SHOULD be done. I DO have the massive and somewhat pricey vector pack from USCutter than I bought when I started out that has all kinds of frames and scrolls and other elements that I use in whole or part or modify from time to time. (I just went looking for it to link and it looks like they dropped it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
