Clip Art for Desk Top Publishing

Note: To save the clipart to your own PC just save the page using your web-browser.

This is a collection of non-copyrighted art for use in Desk Top publishing. This is the fourth in the series of cartoon style drawings.

Others in the series have different themes such as sports and animals or are grouped by type of drawing. The type of art collected is obviously a personal choice - sorry if I haven't included your favorite hobby.

SOURCE OF ART:

Most of the clips in the 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 can 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 originally saved as a PCPaintbrush Plus cut out file (.PCC) and later converted to (.JPG) using PSP-5.

EQUIPMENT:

The original scanning was done on an IBM XT with an EGA card and dates from the 1980’s. The files were then edited on an AT&T 6300 monochrome monitor, which was much easier to work on. The resulting (.JPG) files can be read directly into almost any desktop Publisher.

Good Luck. If these files are used I will upload more as they become available.
