I’ve been trying for some time to find a source of drawings to use on the index pages for my travel blog. Unfortunately I’m not a very good artist and I wasn’t finding anything online that I liked, so I wondered if I could transform my own images into something that would give me the feel I wanted.
It turns out that applying Photoshop’s “cartoon” filter to my own images is almost exactly what I wanted.
My first experiments were for the Canada index on my blog:
I suspect some images will work better than others (more experiments to come!), but I’m happy with what I have thus far.
If you want to see how I’m using them, check out the Canada index page at ExplorationVacation.
