To kick off the launch of traitdesigns.com, I’m giving away the hot air balloon vector used in the header of this site. The balloon was created using a combination of the Gradient Mesh and Paint Bucket tools in Illustrator.

If you are curious about some of the other elements used on traitdesigns.com: The “trendy circles”, used in the design of both header and footer, are available in AI, EPS, and GIF formats on UK based Graphic/Web Designer Chris Spooner’s site, Blog.Spoongraphics, one of my favorite resources for cool vectors, Photoshop brushes, textures, web elements, and helpful tutorials. If you haven’t already explored Blog.Spoongraphic’s offerings, than you’ve been missing out on one of the best resources on the web.
