Great source of Clipart

I love using images in my websites and blogs.

Besides being a very logical person, I have a really strong creative side, however my drawing age is stuck at around age 6 and a half. Ghastly! And no, I have none for sale! I am a very visual person and appreciate subtle variations and atmosphere. I really appreciate the talent that others have, including that of my wife who has a design degree and used to teach Art at school.

I recall not paying attention during art classes at school primarily because learning to draw or paint did not interest me at all – in fact I found it incredibly boring; probably partly because I was so useless at it!

That was one thing I did not like about school – being forced to learn stuff like art, Latin, French and music (I am deaf as well as tone deaf and wear plastic ears = hearing aids). I appreciate art – a wide taste, and music – another area with wide and varied tastes, however trying to actually do stuff I am no good at and have no interest in is in my view generally a waste of time. I was very good at Science and came top in my year for the 3 sciences combined – Physics, Biology and Chemistry. (I think I was top in 2 and second in Chemistry – top overall). Schools should in my view teach a lot more about life skills and make a bigger effort to tap into people’s potential so that they can help the world when they grow up by doing stuff they have a passion and natural aptitude for.

Anyway, back to the subject of the post – Clipart. I pay a lot of attention to getting the design of my websites and blogs to reach a minimum good standard. I love the way computers, combined with other people’s artistic talent, can enable an artistic retard like me to create something that looks good. My eye for design is not hindered by my atrocious artistic skills! People are very visual and a nice image makes all the difference to a website, presentation or any other digital or print creation for that matter.

I like services which besides being good quality, are good value, easy to use and not restrictive. I am one of those people who reads terms and conditions carefully because they can often trip you up down the track if you are not careful. Establishing good foundations for anything one does is the best policy. It takes more effort at the start but pays off in the long run.

When I was looking for a good source of images for my websites and blogs I was horrified to see how many ‘bulk libraries’ (websites where you can get lots of images for a low fee) had pedantic terms and conditions such as not being able to use some of the images in conjunction with mental health subjects for example. Because I am a counselor and life coach; and I consult in the areas of personal development and growth; that meant me.
