This is by far the most-emailed question I get here at BittBox. How can you make vector halftones from raster images? Well, our friends at Adobe haven’t seen the need to throw us a bone in this situation yet, but there are some brave souls out there taking on the challenge themselves, and answering the call. I’m going to show you 3 different ways to create vector halftones from raster images, 2 of which are free, and the 3rd is only $15. Grab a random image from your archive, and let’s get to it. . .

Many of you probably noticed that the Box has been down for a couple days. Well, my hard drive had to be replaced and it took a lot longer to fix than expected. No worries though, I had plenty of time to make some freebies! In this set you’ll find 3 very detailed sunflower vectors. Hope you like ‘em ;) and lets hope my host’s hardware doesn’t crap-out again anytime soon, huh!

Vectorstock Free Vector of the Month

January 17, 2008 | Posted in Freebies | 15 Comments »

This month’s vector is actually pretty decent palm tree silhouette landscape. You must sign up/create an account in order to download the freebies. In fact, you won’t even be able to see the free vector until you create an account. Don’t forget to check back once a month. iStock lets download previous months’ free vectors, but I’m not seeing previous downloads on Vectorstock.

Found Freebie: Monthly Free Vectors from iStock

I’m not sure how long this has been going on, but I stumbled onto the vector freebie in one of the latest iStock email newsletters. Oh, and I should probably mention that you need to create an account in order to download all the free stuff. Thanks iStock!
