To download from this site: Find the graphic you’d like from one of the categories; then click on the name or the download icon next to the name. You can then find it in your Downloads folder.

To download from other sites: Note where the default downloads folder is on your computer. On a windows machine, it’s usually in the Downloads folder in My Documents. On a mac, it’s usually Downloads folder in the user folder.
