Appendix B

Textures, Backgrounds, and Buttons


CONTENTS

Use the graphic files included on the CD-ROM as a starting point for the development of your own libraries. For additional references refer to "Identifying Sources of Graphics for the Web" in Chapter 3 "Creating Cool Graphics for the Web."

Note
The backgrounds and textures included on the CD-ROM can be used for full backgrounds, background tiles, and as components of splash graphics and montages.

Almost all these sites have both free graphics for download and commercial collections that can be ordered. Several also have links to more obscure locations for graphic sources.
