tried search engines? although if it’s for commercial use it’s prolly not allowed, in that case i believe that you’ll need to get some stock photography/pictures to do it ---

[http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/targetFamily/Earth](http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/targetFamily/Earth) sniff around NASA and you’ll prob find all sorts of images. I did a project using a globe and used [http://images.google.com](http://images.google.com) like mlkdesign suggests. You could also use [http://www.corbis.com](http://www.corbis.com) or [http://www.gettyimages.com](http://www.gettyimages.com), but they are pay sites (with previews). jcs :rambo: ---

calaway42 no images required! the chances are you’ve all got it. Have a look at the webdings font in your fonts folder (Use character map if on PC) and you’ll see that you’ve got it. You can then take the character into either Illustrator or Photoshop and scale it to suit as a vector or bitmap graphic - whichever you prefer! hth 🙂 ---

I \think\ (and don’t quote me on this) that you can even get a Photoshop brush like this. But I can’t remember where I found it… I’ll have a look. 🙂 ---

You’re probably right Kit - perhaps the Adobe exchange? There is also the possibility of a Custom Shape which will be even better as they’re vector-based outlines/paths. ---

Alright, there is that option. 🙂 Cello - yeah, you could be right, that could well be where I saw it. 🙂 And vector based obviously gets the :thumb: ---

\_Bounces_\ Cool. 🙂 I’m going to try and find that brush regardless, if only because it’s going to bug me if I don’t. 😛 Only I’m going to do this during work hours, because I am currently bored out of my skull with what’s in my In-Tray. 🙂 ---
