I know non-designers read this, so a flourish is a set of embellishments, sometimes line drawings that designers often use. As a solo designer for a non profit, time and money are are very valuable(as if they aren't for other designers). Here are a few links for free flourishes I pulled up today. I'm trying to link the sources to give proper recognition to those who did the work, and to let those who read know where I'm finding this stuff. Mograph thread on flourishes and GDF with a few links to flourish fonts via dafont. I hope these will be as useful to the rest of you as they were to me. I try to interpret resources I find into some kind of composition when I can. Click the image to see what I came up with.

I'd like to be one of those people who trace old line art from musty books all day, putting them into vectors keeping the old style alive. Early design is just so interesting to me.
