Is there an online resource of (fairly) simple curves - as per the red white and blue swirl of http://www.britannia-coaches.co.uk/news ? I currently use Fireworks for graphics and creating curves is pretty haphazzard and it's hard to get good results. Thanks to anybody who replies.
Make them yourself with the pen tool. I made these with pen tool in photoshop. You could possibly find some on deviantart.com, curves that is.
Many thanks all. On Fireworks, the pen tool gives me "jerky" curves rather than the nice smooth ones Cyan created. But shall keep trying. And I shall check out iStockphoto - hadn't thought of that for curves!
I found the pen tool in Fireworks much easier to use than in Photoshop or Illustrator. Create the lines and you can use control key (command on Mac) and the Alt key for different options on the points as you are drawing - or after you made your points by using the subselection tool (the white arrow). Once you get used to it, it's a breeze and I use it quite often.
The pen tool in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator can help you to draw curves. You can also PM me to do design work for you.
