Where do you find your images for name fills etc.?

[disneybound08]

Thanks for posting the simple instructions on how to create name fills, and adding personalization to existing blank disigns. I plan on making some name fills and a few other disigns but I cant seem to find any really good images to use with the name fills. I'm using a google image search but not really finding much. Can anyone share some tips? Or favourite sites, search parameters? Do disigners post those blanks/images somewhere? Or if they are no longer disigning will they still send me the blank/images? Thanks for all your help and sharing your wealth of information.

A simple way to find them is www.google.com. Then click on the "images" tab and do a search for wallpaper. For example if you are looking for Mickey Mouse search for "Mickey Mouse wallpaper". Then you want to look at the large images so if if it is 8-50K it isn't worth your time. Look for images over 100K. A quick way to find all of the large images for making name fills in google is once you do your initial image search for the wallpapers. Look towards the top of the screen. There is a blue button on the left side that says "show options". Click on the "show options" button, then a bunch of options will show up on the left side of the screen. Under "any size" double click on "large" then only the large images that are great for making name fills will show up in your search.

Another great website is www.fanpop.com. On the home page...type in your search. So type in "Mickey Mouse" and click "search". Then when the next screen pops up click on the "images only" and click on "search fanpop".

There are lots of great websites to find disney wallpapers. Do a general google search for disney wallpapers and you will find a bunch of sites. Another is www.mousewallpapers.com

Be carefull where you are downloading your images from as there could be viruses that will attack your computer. DO NOT save images from "deviantart" as some of their images have viruses. It is worth getting a good program that will run a scan on things before you download them like Norton 360 Premier Edition.
