Clip Art Crazy

Clip Art Redefined

Berkeley, CA-It used to be taken for granted that clip art was to real art
what Muzak was to music. But things have really changed These days, the
people creating clip art are often sought-after artists routinely paid
top-dollar to produce a single illustration. The people using it range
from high-end publishers, ad agencies, and design studios that formerly
shunned canned art, to those of us who add images to the printed page to
tell a story, create a mood, or focus attention. Because virtually every
word processing, desktop publishing, and presentation software package has
the tools to import, size, and crop clip art, this new art world is
accessible to anyone with a computer and a CD-ROM drive. 

Clip Art Crazy, Windows Edition, is a book/CD-ROM package that introduces
readers to this colorful new world through a collection of 50
extraordinary clip-art projects-from business to fun--that readers can
re-create, choosing from the hundreds of images included on the CD-ROM.
The book covers everything readers need to know to incorporate
great-looking clip art into projects ranging from newsletters and flyers
to invitations, pop-up cards, posters, and ornaments. It includes tips and
techniques for finding, choosing, and using clip art, plus a catalog of
the best clip art images from 20 leading clip art sources (Art Parts,
Ultimate Symbol, Iconomics, et al) whose innovations have redefined the
field. The CDROM includes 500 samples selected by the author to
demonstrate the breadth of subjects and styles available. 

Author Chuck Green wrote The Desktop Publisher's Idea Book (Random House).
He is a regular columnist for Before & After and Technique Magazine, and
is the principal of Logic Arts Corporation, a firm specializing in the
development of add-in computer software.
