    I use these guys, just search for an image and choose the creative commons on the left.
    Double check but usually you just have to credit the person on the image and that’s it :)

    Hey,

    For those that are having trouble with Illustrator can get some free help here: http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/free-10-week-illustrator-course/

    I signed up for the webinar starting next week. They even have brick and mortar classes.

    Talking about design principles reminds me of the C.R.A.P. theory (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity) originally from The Non-Designer’s Design Book by Robin Williams.

    For anyone who hasn’t heard of the C.R.A.P. principles, here’s a good article: http://usabilityfriction.com/2008/09/08/how-to-make-your-user-interface-crap/

    Sometimes less is better:

    http://www.webdesignerwall.com/trends/50-minimal-sites/

    These sites do a lot with very little imagery and using very simple typography. Don’t be afraid of white space!
