Who in the world does this dweeb (and dweebs the world over with mentality on this subject like he exhibits) thinks brings their messages to life in compelling ways that are highly noticed by their intended targets? Graphic freakin’ designers…that’s who!!!!!!!!! Graphic Designers are the unsung heros behind every successful company, marketing campaign, product launch…I could go on and on. and on.

I ran across this site last year when I was searching for good scientific graphics and icons for my eLearning modules. I didn’t ultimately use them at the time, but can’t wait until I find a project that would benefit from these awesome vectors! But that’s not all! The university also has an image library that is free to download from! You can select the images you want and add them to a light box and create a zip file download. How cool is that? It’s WAY cool. They also have great info on environmental science, forums, online seminars and more.
Please Note: You must register on their site to obtain the free download. It is quick and painless, I promise. After you register, you will immediately receive a link to the download at the email address you provide them. There are several different versions of PC/MAC downloads to choose from.
