How do you guys get pics/bitmaps for your apps?

I have this little app about 1-1/2 years old, with the same splash for the duration. The app has been completely revamped and I would like to update the splash. The only problem is, I can't draw to save my life, so the original splash took forever, and now its not on par with the app. All of the apps that I've worked on in the past have all been used in-house, so it didn't matter how "pretty" they loooked. I've searched for free stock photos, but they aren't free. So, besides paying big money, any ideas on how to get something nice???? ...

Grab a camera, go outside, and make a bunch of seasonal photos. Instinctively (hey, your moniker is zenboy after all ;P ) choose things that tickle your fancy. :omg: Check out my experimental site www.vergessenes-basel.ch to get an idea what I mean. Warning: MAY BE SLOW. And you don't really need to use the whole picture, either. Have a nice {enter time period here}. :rose: -- mars@littlelifeforms.ch --

Its a very small splash screen, 290 x 210 pixels. The current one is 256 colors. I could always send you a copy of the screen to look at. Only problem is, the only thing I have to offer for it is a new BENQ DVD drive, though I'm not sure how well it would fare shipping trans-atlantic. Then again, I could always just deal with the current screen ( I mean, hardware's like a child - you just can't get rid of it ) ...

You're in luck , I'm stuck in the South Pacific. :-) Send us the old Pic. and any ideas or whatever that you have. I'm not exactly after payment. Besides you might not like my artwork. :-) How long does the splash screen last ? enough time for an animation ? Regardz Colin J Davies

http://www.deviantart.com[^] An excellent resource for templates, icons, misc images etc etc etc etc etc I will admit there can be alot of trash to wade through but it usually comes through when I am looking through it for something. The vast majority of the art work doesnt require payments to use a simple email to the author will usually suffice.
