Hi, I am new and I am working on designing a postcard and a brochure, and I have two questions. I am looking long and hard for some imaging to use on the postcard. Can anyone give me any website recommendations that has "FREE" clipart? I am broke, so I really really don't want to pay for anything. I will if I have to, but don't want to.

Second question, I wanted to make a note on both items regarding the price comparison of a hiring someone vs contracting for services. Can someone point to one of those little wage calculators, that would give me accurate numbers as far as how much extra an employee costs with taxes and such?

And can if anybody has any tips as to what I should include, I would be greatful?

i would be cautious of using pre-made clipart just because people may have already seen it in relation to other businesses. However, if you are looking for free clipart options, try this one. I tend to look toward the 'back pages' of clipart as most people find something they like right away and so the back pages are less perused.

The calculator is located here.

Let us know how else we can help.

I am using Vista Print and my goal was the same that you mentioned, I don't want to use their templates as I'm sure they spit out hundreds of the same.

But thanks for the suggestion, and the calculator

There is a thread already started here called Free sites for Stock Photos. There are other suggestions as well which you can find by using the Search tool in the upper right hand corner of the navigation menu, keyword 'clipart', 'images' and 'stock photos'.
