This week's Graphics Challenge over in the About.com Graphics Software forum is centered on dingbats. Yes, those lovable little clip art collections in a font. Do you love dingbats? Do you love creating cool images with Photoshop or other graphics software? Then use some dingbats to create an image. Check out the Graphics Challenge Rules then go find you a dingbat to play with. There are some seriously cool, clever, and very useful dingbat fonts out there. I use 'em a lot for more than just fancy bullets.

I love dingbats, ever since I realized I could modify them in Coreldraw.
They are a really quick way to do a nice graphic in a hurry!
Starrpoint, I agree. I found it tricky at first — editing them in a drawing program (I use CorelDRAW too) — but once I figured it out I’ve gotten a lot of mileage from some super simple dingbats.
