Chances are, if you are into the awesomeness that are vectors, then you are already familiar with the Go Media Arsenal. And furthermore, chances are that if you are familiar with Go Media, then you, like us, get excited whenever the Go Media crew releases a new set of vectors into the community. Well, then get excited, friends, because the time is upon us! And the exciting news doesn’t stop there…

The team over at Go Media contacted us, asking if we wanted to give away a couple of the vectors from the new set, and we jumped at the opportunity to share them with you all. Below is a summary of the latest vector set from the Arsenal and a special bonus announcement for the readers of our blog.

There are quite a few (4 of 7) packs featuring brilliant Technicolor in Vector Set 16, but none quite as bold as “Color Radials”. We wanted to follow up our original “Radials” pack with a younger, hipper sibling. Now that we have all the wavelengths of the rainbow with which to work, things get interesting! Inside the full pack you’ll find color wheels, sunbursts, ornate circles, and pigment bombs. I think Adelle chose two of the coolest images in the pack to share with you for free, so thank her for her good taste!

They have also created a product-specific discount coupon for Color Radials.

Code: fuelyourcolor

This code gets our readers 15% off of the Color Radials vector pack.

And Now, The Freebie

For Vector Pack 14, Hand Drawn Wings became a stand out example of why the folks over at Go Media love to create art. Graphite, ink & moleskine fibers went flying & soon Go Media artists Adam Law, Jeff Finely & Bill Beachy had created a truly impressive collection of wings.

The cool kids over at Go Media gave me a sneak peak of the full vector pack 14. Of course it left me wanting more and I hear the rest of the collection will be coming out soon so be watching out for it!

Check out the details of the latest release, they are so beautifully hand drawn.

If you’d like to grab a free vector from the pack head over to Go Media and download it!

Better yet, if you can afford to buy the pack, do it….it’s totally worth it! (Come on it’s only $9.99)!

Ok, I admit it–this bugs me when I’m at work..non designers think they can design. People at work that are not creative automatically assume they know what looks good. By all means I do not know everything but I don’t pretend to. Come on people! Do you really think Microsoft Word or Powerpoint are design tools? Do you really think Comic Sans is a great looking font? Or even that clipart is the greatest thing since sliced bread?

Which brings me to why I really took the time to post about this great website: Design Police.

They have a visual enforcement kit (which could come in handy at work). You can download it from their website. So simple, yet the best idea ever! Print out the PDF’s on some sticker paper and then the next time one of your co-workers drops in with a horrific sales pitch or horrible copywriting, stick one of these bad boys on!
