Includes photos, clipart and more. It's very extensive and free - though
general. They also have a template gallery with many templates of common
documents, such as newsletters, calendars, stationary, business forms, etc.

class=020153618-04012007>Some of my challenges include:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=020153618-04012007>-If we need to go back and change artwork or add
additional pieces, we can't always find the same artist or the original source.
</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=020153618-04012007>-With a lot of searching, I have been able to find some
free clipart online. Unfortunately, I usually see the same clipart/photos in
documents of other agencies and organizations. That can be confusing for clients
when materials start to look the same.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=020153618-04012007>-We know that photos are often more clear in the
message and feel more applicable for our readers. Bit its hard to find photos
that represent the issues we're addressing. Its one thing to find a photo
of child, a whole different issue to find one of a child using a medical
device, an adult using testing their insulin, etc.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=020153618-04012007>-On the tech side, once I find the images, working
with them isn't always easy. I sometimes have limited software options and I
wasn't professionally trained in working with graphic
images.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

more resources and ideas out there, and I'm looking forward to hearing from
other folks!</SPAN></FONT></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->

healthliteracy@nifl.gov<BR>Subject: [HealthLiteracy 521] Wednesday Question:
Visuals in Health Ed.<BR><BR>Hi Everyone,<BR><BR>It's time for Wednesday's
question, and I want to prepare for next<BR>week's discussion by getting us
thinking about the use of pictures and<BR>visuals in passing on health
information. Whether it is during a<BR>clinical appointment, or more formalized
health education setting, there<BR>are lots of ways to present health
information. What do you see as the<BR>biggest problem in getting health
educators to use more visuals in their<BR>instructions?<BR><BR>Think about your
own experience and let us know what you think. Send a<BR>brief answer this week,
and we'll discuss it further with our guest<BR>speakers next week.<BR><BR>All
the best,<BR>Julie<BR><BR><BR>Julie McKinney<BR>Discussion List
