- Clip Art for Desk Top Publishing
-
-
- ART MART is a collection of non-copyrighted art for use in Desk
- Top publishing. This small .ARC file is a collection of 13
- pieces designed as a sample of the type of clip art available.
- Several others, with approximately 250 separate pieces, have been
- collected, edited and stored in .ARC files by group. If it
- appears that there is any need for this type of material, they
- will be posted.
-
-
- SOURCE OF ART:
-
- Most of the clips in the ART MART collection have been obtained
- from commercial Clip Art books, mainly from Dover Press. The
- Dover books all contain a paragraph which states:
-
- Advertisers, graphic designers and craftspeople cam make
- free use of the material in this book without securing
- permission. The only restriction is that you can not
- republish this book as a whole, or in substantial part.
-
- Since I have used, at most, 10% of any book, I feel that I am
- obeying all copyright laws. You, however, are to make your own
- decisions.
-
-
- TECHNIQUE:
-
- The various pieces of clip art were cut from the books and
- catalogs, glued onto a piece of non-reproducing blue paper and
- scanned by a Dest PC Scan Plus, using Dest's PUBSPAC software.
- The clips were saved as a PCPaintbrush Plus cut out file (.PCC).
- Most of the clips were then edited using PCPaintbrush Plus in
- order to get horizontal and vertical lines straight, clean up
- glue marks, etc. The edited files were then resaved, again as
- .PCC files.
-
-
- EQUIPMENT:
-
- The scanning was done on an IBM XT with an EGA card. The files
- were edited on an AT&T 6300 monochrome monitor, which was much
- easier to work on. The resulting .PCC files can be read directly
- by Aldus' PageMaker and, I think, by Ventura Publisher. I do not
- know if then can be edited further by any machine other than the
- two mentioned.
-
- Good Luck. If the files are used I will upload more. A complete
- index is available and will be uploaded if there appears to be a
- need for it.
