Vector Art to Impress Your Audience – GoMedia Arsenal

Vector art seems to occupy the same space that line art occupied ten years ago, but where line art may have tended towards the Hallmark-Family Circus niche, GoMedia’s new Vector Art Arsenal collections remind one more of the Dark Knight. Whether you are interested in comic book art, tattoos and body art, Mexican wrestlers, Sci Fi, Pop Art, and movie posters, or just the latest web 2.0 vectors set in a Grunge, alternative, or underground aura, the GoMedia Arsenal collection is worth a look.

At $199, the Ultimate Vector set contains a total of 7 individual vector collections, each themselves including between 110 and 300 vector graphic illustrations. If we break down the set into categories, the set includes “Bound, Flow, Robots, 3D Skulls, Apparel, XTreme Sports, and Too Sexy.” Individual vector sets, priced at around $35, cover themes such as “Color 8-bit, Zombies, Guts & Slime, Tiling Halftones, East Asian Folk Art, Linework 2, Tattered Scrolls, Hand-Drawn Skulls, Doodles, Trees 2, Birds 2, Suits, Type Explosions, International City Skylines, Lightning, Tattoos, Cute Stuff, Anatomy 2, Hooved, Nautical, Blood Drips, Hooladanders 3, Heraldry 2, Abstract Halftones, Signs, Western, 80s, Flowers, Flourishes, Decorative 2, Arrows 2, Industrial, Religious, Music, Silhouettes, Ornate, War, Stains, Hair, Scrolls, Stars & Hearts, Horror, Heraldry, Destroy 2, Anatomy, Skylines, Linework, Radials, Scribbles, Hooladanders 2, Circle Halftones, Skulls 2, Flock of Birds, Decorative Elements, Flames, Edges, Currency, Urban, Arrows, Shattered, Battle, Bugs, Shields, Zoology, Statues, Brush Strokes, Tribal Ornaments, Banners, Halftone Patterns, and Tech Shapes 2.

Vector Magic – Online Conversion of Bitmaps to Vector Images

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to add vector images to your website or blog, it is recommended to take a look at vectormagic.com. The site offers auto tracing capabilities that turn bitmap images into vector based drawings. The interface is extremely simple to use, consisting of just a few configuration steps after uploading an image, but the results are professional and add a great effect to your pages. Vector Magic can also be used when you want to convert a photograph into an avatar image. The site processes graphics for logos with two configuration options, and includes a custom setting specially designed for image conversion. After looking around the web for similar services and trying out a number of sites and applications, Vector Magic provided exactly what I wanted for this graphic design task, and provided high quality .png output as a free download.
