All those things can be created fairly simple, a gradient for example is just a few clicks. A lot faster than looking around looking for what you need.

I'd suggest taking a look at Photoimpact, lots of features for web based graphics. It has a component for designing textures.

As for the seals there is already a lot of built in path objects that look like that which you could apply your own colors too, even text...
