Adhesive Notes and pushpins are pretty popular in web design and so to make my life easier – and hopefully yours too :) – I made a pack of vector post-it notes and drawing-pins. There are 9 unique post-it notes, out of which I made 6 color combinations (yellow, blue, green, white, pink and orange) for a total of 54 colorful sticky notes plus shadows; and if you need a worn out look some of the paper notes are wrinkled as well.
About the vector Push Pins – there are 3 kinds (tall, flat and round) in 7 color variations (red, green, yellow, white, blue, pink and orange) and from different angles; over 100 vector thumbtacks in total.
At the bottom there are two format versions for downloading, one contains ai + png files and the other eps + png. They are the same but I kept them in separate files as the eps files are larger and if you only need the ai there’s no point in downloading the whole thing. In the zip files I also added a png file that has both the pushpins and sticky notes together for a quick copy and paste in a project. By the way if you need a corkboard texture to go along with these files check out my previous post here.
Check the screens below and if you like this post don’t forget to post a note or share it. Thanks!
New – I added an extra link for high resolution png transparencies to to the download section.

This is great, thank you!
[...] a simple illustrator tutorial on how to make a shinny 3d push pin using the Revolve Tool. Using the Revolving Tool can be a lot of fun in creating complex 3d objects out of a simple 2d [...]
This is great !!!!!!!o_O
wow, this work you did here is great and you saved my bacon. need to have pin abd notes on our internal intranet and did not have time to create them!
Hi, great work. Is there any reason I’m getting some white blocking behind the images when I use them in Quark???
@Dan
I assume it has something to do with the drop shadows losing their transparencies while being imported. I just added a third link to the download section above for High Resolution PNG transparencies. Download those and they should probably work. Let me know if you need them in another format.
Oh my good! They’re incredible. Thank you so much!
We love your blog and all the resources in it, really
We’d like to learn Gimp’s Guides ;)
By the way, we’re from Spain, and, our English is… Well…Sorry! Jajajaja
We love all the resources you have in your blog
Greetings!
Thanks ever so much.
New file worked a treat, you are a true legend my friend!!!
Thanks for the hi-res png version. Solved a few issues resizing the post-it without getting pixelated borders. Good work.
And cool website.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I dreamt of putting into my design, but don’t have the skills.
Really nice, well done and thanks! :)
LOVE these! I was about to do a corkboard motif and dreaded making the pushpins.
Brilliant!
Thank you very much :)
thanks so much!!! Love the stickies :)
Hi, I’m a having a few problems viewing the folders. I only have Illustrator CS on my laptop and the files are saved in CS3, and CS4. CS won’t let me open the folders as they were saved in a newer version of illustrator. Is there something I can do to resolve this?
Thanks :-)
@Sandy
I emailed you a version that should be compatible with CS. Hope it works!
These are absolutely awesome! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
just perfect, thank you so much!!
thanks a lot!! you’re really a great help!!
This is excellent, I was doing my own push pin following your excellent tutorial, it worked really well, but this will save me a lot of time… I’m hoping to use them for a charity website I’m putting together (no profit made), thanks very much for sharing!
Thank you!! Lifesaver!!

I tried to import the eps file in coreldraw its not working, pls suggest
@Anand Punchhi
I don’t know much about CorelDraw. Maybe something to do with the Illustrator 3D effects not being imported well in CorelDraw. I will email you some PDF files that may work. Also there are high resolution png transparencies in the above download section in case you need them. Hope it works!
Thanks for post..very well done
This is great! Just what I needed for my English lessons! Thanks a lot!
