I'm currently designing a gymnasium/small sports center. I'm interested in using huge vector images of athletes [basketball, handball, gymnastics, soccer, etc...] on the large windows outside. What I'm asking you is this:
1. Do you know any resources where I can get vectors of athletes [outline-only prefered]?
2. Separately, I would like to achieve on those vectors a grainy effect, like those you'll find in old b&w newspaper pictures. Some guidance in photoshop [or vector program] appreciated.
That's it. Thanks in advance.

1.

Cheap way would be filter>Add noise then maybe some difference cloud filter on a multipy or with a yellow tint with a color blending layer. Depens on how real you want it to look.3
Goodluck.

not sure what kind of noise you want if you're just using an outline? Look into using the filter>sketch>halftone pattern as that will give you the same dot structure as b&w newspapers, you could then add noise after that.
cant help with the vector athletes.. "draw them" would be a popular response heheh
hope that helps.

for the newsprint effect, try the "color halftone" filter in ps for big dots, then maybe experiement with filter to distress it a little to make the dots look less regular-- or even print it out with big dots on paper, mess it up a little then rescan?
