Clip Art

This guide shows how to use any type of scanner to convert hard-copy clip art and logo art into electronic form, and then enhance it using popular image processing programs like Adobe Illustrator, Aldus Freehand, CorelDRAW, and Publisher's Paintbrush. Glover also explains how to acquire and work with clip art already in electronic form. Step-by-step training sessions lead readers through the process of building an automated clip art library from conventional and electronic sources, and using it effectively in applications ranging from word processing and desktop publishing to multimedia presentation. Glover also answers such questions as how to choose a scanner, how to use clip art as an effective design element, where to find inexpensive clip art software, how to integrate incompatible file formats and how to use a video camera as a scanner.
