Jogging Shoe Shape/Brush/Font?

news::

I am working on a theme set for a local 10k run/walk…. I cannot seem to find a good graphic for a contemporary looking running shoe…. Tried dingbat pages, tried Adobe Xchange, and tried my normal clipart resources. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a good jogging shoe graphic that can somehow be converted to vector?
TIA!

Assuming you’re a jogger, scan the bottom of your favorite shoe and use threshold to convert it to b/w. Then use select color range on the black area. Finally convert selection to a path. This will work best if you scan at a pretty high resolution (ie: 600ppi or higher).

After you scan and use threshold, Illustrator or Streamline might do a better job at vector conversion.

No, I am not a jogger..but, very creative suggestion…thanks…

I’ve got a couple in ai format (which are vector) and which I use on local jogging posters here. I’ll send them to you – but I need an address. We don’t attach to this ng do we?

Take a digital camera (if you have one) into a shoe store and shoot some pics. You can also go to Google and search, but click the Images tab. Peter Cowie
