Digital Objects, Textures, and Backgrounds

We have a number of DVDs with 2D and 3D digital objects, backgrounds, and textures that you can import into your work, whether it's games, animations, or renderings. Most of these are published by Dosch, and searching for the publisher is the easiest way to find them:

Sound Effects

The Design Library also has a number of sound effects libraries. These CDs have various sound files you can use in an animation or game. If you're looking for a particular sound, you may want to do a search for that sound (ie. "auto" or "explosions") and "sound effects." You can also come to the Design Library and browse the cds. Here is a listing including most of the sound effects libraries:

Pattern and Stock Image Sources

We have several series of books that include patterns or images you can use in graphic design projects. The most useful ones come from two series- one published by Agile Rabbit, and other published by BNN. These books include both the images on paper, and also a CD with digital versions of the images. Copyright information is included in every book.
