Graphics needed like Xplane

February 27, 2006 9:56 AM

Where can I find graphics such as the ones used by www.xplane.com I am working on my own presentation, and would like to use Visio 2003 to put together cool slides.

You mean the logos of different companies? Try Google image search.

We've worked with XPlane before, and their graphics are amazing. They should be -- each is custom-produced, which helps explain the incredible intricacy and artistry.

There are some surprising graphics in Visio's stencils -- I know it sounds like a "no duh," but have you dug around inside those?

Or the clip art section in M'soft's Visio area?

This site lists a lot of stencils and templates from "free to thousands of dollars."

Good luck -- I'll keep my eye on this question. I could use some more Visio goodies myself.

If you mean the illustrations in their "after" images, then the answer is "by hiring xplane."

There's plenty of free clip art available out there -- and you get what you pay for. There are also many companies offering stock art if you have some budget.

Hie thee to google.

They look like pictures you would get if you were playing a game like civilization or simcity.

This looks like it might allow you to do some 3-D diagrams in Visio.

If you're looking for something in the way of stock photos, you might try The Stock Exchange. It's free, but you have to create a username. I use photos from there all the time for posters, websites, and the like. I'm sure you could find something useful for a presentation there.
