- But IÆve never seen this image before...

- Before we discuss Source Art, it is important to point out that Idea Source projects,
- Gallery ideas and all demonstration videos use artwork from Clipper, Electronic
- Clipper, DesignerÆs Club and Electronic Print Media Service art products. If you see
- images that donÆt appear familiar to you, chances are they were supplied by a
- different art service than the one you subscribe to. It is for this reason that
- content of Idea Source tends to place more importance on the techniques and creative
- ways to manipulate ANY illustration, not just the ones seen in the demonstrations.
- What you learn from an Idea Source session can be applied many different ways. WeÆll
- supply the ideas and techniques that you can add to your "bag of tricks." If you do
- see one of those "I sure could have used that one" images, you will also see where it
- came from. Idea Source sections provide an image number and the name of the art
- service that the image came from.

- Idea SOURCE ART - What is it?
- The artwork that you find in the SRC_ART directory is provided to you as a free bonus
- and can help to serve two purposes. First, images included in the SRC_ART directory
- can be used to take examples created in Idea Source a step further. Experimenting
- with what you have seen without having to start from scratch. Second, if you do not
- have access to the software or artwork used to create these examples, you can still
- take advantage of the results. Lastly, in the process of making Idea Source, we
- create original artwork that is specific to that month's issue. We will provide for
- you, many of the backgrounds, textures, animations, 3D models and scripted buttons
- and slider from Idea Source, in the SRC_ART directory each month. These images are
- most often designed for screen applications (72 dpi) and are cross-platform
- compatible.
