Graphics: Arrows

The double-headed arrows on this page are all PNG images. I developed them by accident and then decided to keep going. I've reduced the size of a number of them but some remain quite large. The good part is that they can be expanded or shrunk without distorting the image. Stretch them in a variety of ways and you'll find they stay together pretty well on screen. Most images are about 7 to 12 KB.

I saw these as navigation for multimedia projects. I placed links to "home" and "table of contents" sections in the space between the arrow heads. Of course, you've probably guessed that the arrow heads represent "next" and "previous."

As I got adventurous, I also started stacking multiple arrows on a single frame to create a design - like a colorful ladder - and then started hooking them together to form other shapes. They became a form of graphical building blocks. Experiment and see what you do with them. They're already saved as transparent images.

To download the images . . .right-click (Windows) or hold down your mouse button (Mac) and you'll get the hidden menu in your browser that will let you "Save Image As" or some message along that line. Just make sure you know where you saved it.
