Clip Art Crazy
by Chuck Green
“The
new definition for clip art includes quality, creativity, and technical
excellence. If you haven't tried it, this is a great place to start. If
you're already choosing and using clip art this book will open a new
universe of ideas and sources. If I've done my job, you'll come away with
a new appreciation for illustration and the folks who create it, and a
clear understanding of what it really means to be 'Clip Art Crazy'!”

Graphics can make or
break a newsletter. If you use too few or inappropriate clip art, your
newsletter can seem boring or confusing. Using too may graphics can be
even worse. There is a knack to using clip art well, and sometimes the
best way to learn to use it properly is through practice and looking at
examples.
If you are looking for a
way to learn how to effectively use clip art in your publications, this
book is for you! Not only is it full of tips and examples, it also comes
with almost 500 clip art images that you can use in your publications
right away! The clip art, on CD-ROM, is a representative group of samples
from leading clip art design companies. It is a great way to test the
waters—if you like a particular style of clip art, you may decide to
eventually buy a full collection. But there are so many samples on this
CD, that you may not need any others for quite some time.
The majority of the book
is taken up with examples of creative and clever uses of clip art in a
variety of publications, from newsletters to brochures to direct mail
items. There are even unusual items like T-shirt designs, clocks, and
wrapping paper. This is the type of book you will keep close to you on
your bookshelves. You’ll find yourself reaching for it anytime you need
a clip art supplier (a directory of suppliers is included), when you need
a creative jump-start for your design work, or whenever you are looking
for new ideas for a project.
From finding and choosing
great clip art, to using it effectively in your publications, this is a
wonderful resource to have. Your desktop publishing will be more fun,
rewarding, and productive!
