New source of clipart for newsletters and websites


Recommended Posts

Hi, Peter...

Sincerely, the Web Site looks great. Well balanced and attractive. Some great clipart samples, too.

I have been involved with commercial art as a hobby since highschool and really appreciate the wide variety you show, not to mention refreshing new ones.

The one thing I saw was limited choice of subject. I tend to look around to find what I want instead of doing a true search. It still can be done by using say the transportaion, then clicking say an image of a car then using the keywords listed there.

It is a very nice site to view. I found it easy to read, and the colors are warm, inviting, and easy on the eyes.

Peter, your clip-art site certainly is extensive! There should be something there for just about any subject!

If you wouldn't mind educating me, though: What exactly is the purpose of clip-art? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I have noticed that most clip-art sources have what I would call "goofy" art: simple, casually sketched, sometimes distorted, sometimes humorous. I have seen newsletters use it as fillers for that odd space that needs something; or sometimes to illustrate a headline. But (and please don't get me wrong), I can't see that any serious publication would be using clip-art. I can't imagine National Geographic or Fortune or our own Antique Automobile using the typical clip-art illustration.

What would be especially useful, in my opinion, would be a source of more "serious" illustrations: an attractive detailed illustration of an actual car from the '50's, for example, rather than a generic distorted one; or a detailed pen-and-ink drawing of a street scene from the 1910's; or a stipple portrait of Henry Ford a la The Wall Street Journal.

I hope you'll take this question and suggestion only in the positive vein it was intended! Thanks.

Peter, it not the content of the site I was referring to. It was the navigation when not knowing exactly what I wanted and was surfing the site. I chose transportaion on the main page but then needed to click on a clipart to get "sub catagories" to view instead of having to look at all the cliparts in transportation.

Your site is definately not lacking for clipart.
