how is this done

[DDD]

Or where can I get these symbols? Either for illustrator or photoshop.

http://www.hansliebschercopperwks.com/flashpage.htm

the nice ornamental designs in the corners. Let me know if you dont know what I am referring too.

I know they did not draw those themselves. The have to be available as symbols or brushes or something. If someone knows where I can get symbols like these please let me know.

BTW this is a 2a production

[iLikePie]

someone has asked a similar thing before i think... but i wouldn't know what to search for.

This sort of pattern *could* actually be drawn - if you think about it, somebody had to do it. You could always get some pictures of similar patterns and just trace one, or design your own?

I have a lot of grunge brushes that have those kind of old style curvey designs on them
Try searching for.. uhh.. geeze... I think it's something along the lines of refice curvey or something wierd like that?
Anyway, I know they have brushes like that. Squidfingers.com might have something along those lines too as far as patterns go.

once it's really scaled down, it looks kindof close to what your looking for. i searched for floral fabrics in case you were interested.

edit: and www.cirratus.org has some brushes that might come close

[DDD]

yeah I think it was me that asked......Yeah Ill search around....I tried drawing them but it was way too tedious. After seeing this site I was sure they were symbols or brushes or something.

[mlkedave]

can u post a screenshot and circle exactly what u are talkling about... I no i probably (99.9999%) cant help but I am interested in exactly what you mean...

Are u tlaking about the side patters or the drawings in the corners

[DDD]

sure....I circled the examples

[mlkedave]

I'm just curious, why don't u think they just drew it? I mean thats all they do and they are, argueable, the best in the world... it would be tremedously tedious though...

It reminds me of tdcollins.com , you might want to ask him...

[DDD]

thats why I also asked how is it done, but I highly doubt they drew it. Because it is very tedious and I am pretty good with Ill and I gave up. I just think it is a set up brushes or a symbol library out there that has these images. I have searched but no luck. Actually the brush master Sintax321 probably has a brush or 2 with these symbols

[mlkedave]

i can't think of its but do you know those colums of the old days (they had several styles), i think they were Roman or something... I am trying to think of the names.

EDIT: I found the styles. They are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian... I don't know which one is the exact same thing but I;m pretty sure it is considered one of those styles... You might want to search for brushes with the styles... Just trying to think of something

[DDD]

thanks....I could never think of the formal names for this style. I guess that is why I could not effectively search, actually this is the first time I found an example to shw you guys....

thanks
Man

[mlkedave]

i'm just curious, did u find a brush or nah?>

[DDD]

actually have not looked yet, but I will be doing so shortly

[gragland]

DDD, i have been looking for the exact same kind of designs for a long time. I'm thinking the best bet would be to get some books at the library that have these kind of designs and scan them. Let me know if you find any brushes or sites that have these designs for download. Thanks!

[DDD]

yeah grag I was thinking just that....make my own brush set..

But I still got to find the books with the right images......ggrrrr

[gragland]

Have you tried emailing the maker of the site and asking him?

[gragland]

Yeah! Found what were looking for. The keyword is Motif!
http://www.operafloozy.com/brushes/
Search on google for PS brushes and "motifs."

[DDD]

omg I owe you sooooooooooo big, I mean BIG. I could never find it. But I never thought of the word motif.....thanks dude

I cant even tell you how long I have been searching...for these brushes.

[.soulty]

sweet find, thanks for the link :)
DDD owes you a :beer:

;)

[McGuffin]

D*mn great find. Good searching :thumb:

[porpous2]

if you really want to cheat... and be terrible, you could copy the screen shot, but thats kinda bad...

[DDD]

no need the answer has been delivered.

[UNFLUX]

ditto! This is fantastic, and I know I've already got a use for em ;)

thanks! :thumb:

[gragland]

Yeah, ive been looking for this stuff for a long time too. Let me know if you find any other good motif brushes besides the ones at the link I posted.

[gragland]

Here's another one I found by searching for "photoshop-brushes+wedding." They aren't as good as the other ones though.

[SeiferTim]

What about going to an art store somewhere, and getting some stamps/templates/or whatever, and put the design on a sheet of paper, and scan it?
I've seen that kind of curly, twirly design before...

Dude did you hand make these? I tried to sit down and make some of these patterns, but man!!!....Its not hard but it is tedious and time consuming....BTW thanks for the post....

[Plasmic Steve]

DDD,

They're called "flourishes", in case you're still looking for the formal name. Freehand's older clipart libraries came with a small selection of them, and it's not too tough to create them by hand, once you know your way around the bezier pen tool. The samples you got are great, though - good luck with them.

Steve

[DDD]

thanks plasmic

The first time I posted this question I was like..."hey ya'll you know how to make those swirly things? You know those swishy swooshy things?" Because I did not even know how to describe it nor the formal name, but that new 2a site hade the exact style I was looking for. So I had a sample this time.

Thanks
ya'll......I know others needed these 2 but were too afraid to ask for :trout:

[SeiferTim]

Whoa... those are schweet! I'll have to download some o' them when I get home :D

[SeiferTim]

Hey, i just foudn this: http://www.deviantart.com/view/5876268/

[DChihorn]

I realize that I am way late on this, but if you're looking for stuff like brushes etc check out the Adobe Studio Exchange....

[Kristopher]

I've already hunted the exchange before... there weren't any good brushes to fit this description.

a good resource otherwise, nontheless.

[Kristopher]

I just wanted to let everyone know that DDDs question about this has loooooooooooooooong been resolved, like 8 months resolved.

Someone just dug it up from the grave tryin to get an answer to a question he had posted just recently.

The links and resources that were brought up here cause it's cross referencing the same exact information that was asked in a newer post.
