Patterns

[chefjohn]

Hello everyone, been a while since I last wrote. I have been scrolling for about 6 months. I really enjoy the time while doing it. Done mostly fret work. I am looking for patterns for NFL teams. The one I am looking for is the Patriots. Any help would be nice.

Hi Chefjohn. If you want to find some pictures that could easily be converted into patterns you can do an image search for Patriots Logo.

Image search engines I use

http://images.google.com/
http://www.altavista.com/image/default
http://www.picsearch.com/

There is a nice logo here http://www.cityofboston.gov/bra/imag...s.logo.sal.jpg.
Not sure if it is what you are looking for since I know nothings about football or the teams.

Some things to remember when doing image searches is to narrow the field.
For example. if you just type in Patriots. you will get pictures of people as well.
Type in Patriots logo and you will strip most of the people pics away
I sometimes use the word clipart after a search, or even just art. You can also type in NFL TEAM LOGOS

There are lots of ways to do a search, don't give up after a couple of tries.

Another way to narrow the search to make it more selective for patterns is to only search for black and white images. Each of those search engines has advanced features which will allow you to do that.

Also tiny pictures are not too good so you can eliminate those.

I hope the search hints help you.
