Graphic separators
The little semi-curvy line at the bottom: does anyone know a good way to create those (or a good place to download them )? I just took a font character and stretched it, so it looks pretty rough in a some places.

you could easily just use the pen tool to create the curvy line then add some decay brushes etc.

Yes, I agree, the Pen tool in Adobe Illustrator (or any vector drawing program), should be able to give a similar effect. If you're specifically looking for a font, the "Adobe Woodtype Ornaments" font might do the trick. Also, you could also peruse the site DaFont, which has a great selection of shareware/freeware fonts (all legal)! Maybe there's a symbol/ornament font that might suit the bill.

I could use the pen tool if I had any artistic talent, but I'm more of a techie... I'll check DaFont

Actually, if you're using Adobe Illustrator, the calligraphic brush tool can do the trick. Just select the tool and draw the line, with no need to fuss with anchor points!

Sounds like the exact thing I would use a $100 Wacom tablet for. We've been discussing those over in another thread.
Not that I would buy one just for that, but they do come in useful.
