Visual Resources #3: Creative Sites for Text, Fonts and Clip Art Directory

This is the third installment of a series of posts featuring amazing websites which can help add life to your notes and blogs. Being more than a little handicapped (ha ha) in the areas of drawing and illustration, I've come to rely on a multitude of places to create images for articles, blog posts and tutorials.

This is the first of several blog posts offering information on finding playful image makers, fonts, visual effects and more. To see the other directories, be sure and check out the list at the end of this post. Enjoy!
