A while back I created some vector elements to use on Flash websites I worked on. I used these elements as my default objects for many buttons and animated effects. Using dark backgrounds and glossy gradients gave each flash website a unique look. These vector elements were often modified in size, color and shape. The small glossy buttons worked great for interactive elements. Adding a glow animation and sound made each button stand out and provide a nice graphic user interface. Feel free to grab this zip file and use the vector graphics for your next project. You will love the quality of the gradients and bars. A little imagination and nice graphics can make any site stand out.

Although I’m not a tattoo artist by any means, I thought, how difficult would it be to create some tribal art? well, it was a bit difficult, but thanks to vector applications (illustrator) it is much easier to create. When working with digital vector files it is much easier to flip, rotate and make curve changes to objects without loosing any quality. It is also easy to duplicate, distort and add borders to these tribal-style graphics.

Here are some free samples for you to check out. I made these in few hours and some of the graphics use clones of other elements. See if you can spot them.

Give your design projects a lift with these graphic design elements. I’ve created many of these vector graphics on the fly so many times I’ve decided to put them all on one file for my personal reference and now to share them with you. I’m always creating simple minimal graphics and clip art such as these. I’ve used some of these icons for brochures, business cards, websites and presentation mock ups; mostly for decoration, treatment or navigation purposes. If you find these graphic icons and symbols useful please share your comments, or better yet, share your own ideas or modify these to make them better

During my years as a graphic designer, I’ve never been happy with one type of business card for too long. Therefore I’ve created many samples, printed them over and over on my home printer, and finally I would decide on one version. Even after so many variations and choosing the best business card, I would only do a small run on press.

Here are some business card templates for you to get started. Remember to add your own graphics and photos to personalize your card further. I’ve included some full color business cards and some black and whites. These include some minimal graphics and layout samples – all vector graphics. Also remember to follow the printer’s recommendations for crop marks, cut lines and bleed settings.
