Welcome to the Bright Ideas CD-ROM.
If you have MS Windows v3.X then please load it now and DOUBLE-CLICK the
README.WRI file. This MS Write file will give you instructions for using the
CD-ROM.
Not running Windows? Although Windows is suggested it is not required for
using our images. It is however required for the use of the fonts.
CONTENTS:
80 Images in Both B&W and Color
Bright Ideas images come in three formats:
PCX, TIFF, 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 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. Please refer to the directory structure below for location.
Also note that #### is the font identification number that we have assigned
to a particular font. Please refer to Bright Ideas magazine for the font and
it's corresponding number.
Image Index (CD-ROM BONUS)
A list of images sorted by topic. You may import the catalog into any word
processor and search by topic e.g. MAN -Child - girl. You will find this
ASCII formatted text file in the \INDEX directory.
Multimedia with 6 Animations & 15 Musical Tracks
They can be viewed using the Autodesk Animation Player (AAPLAY.EXE/DOS OR
AAWIN.EXE/WINDOWS). When you have loaded one of these programs pull down
the FILE menu and select OPEN ANIMATION. Locate the ANIM subdirectory and
pick an animation. Online help is available.
The Musical Sound-Tracks are in MOD format. We have provided a shareware
program for playing these files. Using the MS File Manager (or any program
launcher) move to the MOD subdirectory and launch the WMP.EXE program. Using
the FILE and OPEN option you will be able to select any of the 15 MODS to
queue for playing.
Software Reviews (CD-ROM BONUS)
From time to time we will provide you with evaluation copies of some of the
programs reviewed in Bright Ideas. Look inside the REVIEWS directory for
this free BONUS.
3D Models (CD-ROM BONUS)
Five 3D models available as wire-frame files. Each file is saved in DXF
format and can be imported into most 3D imaging programs.
