Here are ways to use graphics, from this site and other sites.

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.

Find a graphic you like and have it on your screen. Sometimes you can click on it to get a full size graphic.
