CONTENTS: 80 Images in Both B&W and Color Bright Ideas images come in three formats: PCX, TIF, and EPS. These images have been grouped together for easy access, as you will see in the directory structure below. Please make note of Bright Ideas magazine images marked with TIFF only. They will not have EPS copies. This is only done with highly detailed images. Backgrounds (CD-ROM BONUS) A special bonus in each issue for CD-ROM subscribers only! Ten really cool backgrounds. These backgrounds are pre-made for you in Adobe Photoshop. Why take the time to build new ones, when you will have a set of backgrounds at your fingertips? You friends will be impressed and your clients will thank you. Note: Backgrounds with an L in the filename were saved in a lower resolution. The H represents higher resolution. If you are low on memory please use the files marked with an L. Fonts 8 unique typefaces. Bright Ideas fonts come in two formats: Postscript Type 1, and TrueType.
