TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Click on the GRAPHICS menu item. Scroll down to the section "Using clip art
and 'borrowed art' " You'll find a link to a large listing of clipart
collections.
If you want the results to look professional, you will want to make sure
that all the graphics you use have the same "look and feel." In other
words, it shouldn't look like a random collection of clip art!
You didn't say this was for a Web site, so I'm assuming you need graphics
for both print and online use. You'll find a link to "ArtToday," which
offers a vast collection of graphics of all types and on all subjects. The
main advabtage if this collection is that they offer graphics in many
formats so that you could use the same graphic online and in print.
