One resource I get great use out of online is iStockphoto, especially when seeking out stock photographs and vectors for inclusion in CD artwork and poster design.

If you stop by iStockphoto this week you’ll find a great tutorial from Chad Neuman, an internationally published freelance magazine writer, graphic designer, photographer, and educator from Florida. Chad walks you through combining raster (bitmap) images and vector (scalable) images using resources direct from the iStockphoto library.

If you’re looking for something funky do to with photos for your next presentation or poster piece then this could be perfect for you.

As files from iStockphoto are usually delivered with JPG, EPS / AI versions of your image or vector, it is assumed for the tutorial that you have access to a raster image editor such as Adobe Photoshop and a vector editor such as Adobe Illustrator.

Failing that, why not see my previous post on open source alternatives for designers.
