Guess What?  I am now the proud owner of a graphics and clipart store!  Of course, you’ve probably already guessed this from the title of my post, but I don’t mind telling you yet again!

Now you may ask – ‘What’d you do that for?  Don’t you already have enough stuff to do?’  Well, the answer to that question is yes, but for you, my loyal readers, customers, and friends, I’m willing to take on the challenge!  In my humble opinion, a custom printing business and a graphics business go hand in hand, because don’t people (such as yourself) need graphics and clipart elements to use when you’re designing your next yard of fabric?  Or to design your website?  Or to create a new wall decal?  Well of course you do!  See – that’s why we get along so well, because I always have your best interests at heart!  Soo, check out Candey Graphics and tell me what you think, and what type of graphics you’d like to see for sale going forward.  Have a great day!!

Other ways to start creating designs are to use an image that you already have and love and make it into a printed product.  Scan in a picture of your childs new drawing, snap a picture of something that you think is beautiful, search the web for free graphics and arrange them until you’re pleased with the result ( be careful to check the copyrights of any images you don’t create yourself – you don’t want to get into trouble for using an image illegally!!).  If you have a graphic design program such as photoshop, take an image and play around with the different filters, these can change a graphic into something else entirely with awesome results.  Don’t have photoshop?  There are plenty of free graphic software downloads out there, one that I’ve used is GIMP, and I’ve posted about it here.  Try it out and in no time you can be creating graphics like a pro!  So now that we know what to do, get out there and start creating!!
