Clip art
galleries usually contain collections of pictures which are arranged according
to topic. For example, categories can include people, business, cartoons,
animals, wedding, sports, holidays, and the like. Clip art galleries can have
anywhere from 100 to 1000's of images.
Clip art
started as reproductions of simple line art drawings. These drawings were
pressed full size onto a board where text or additional images were used. The
board would be referred to as a 'mechanical' and ready for photographing.
Clip art
images usually come in two kinds - vector or raster graphics. Raster graphics
are the images most commonly found on your computer screen, web, and digital
camera. Raster graphics are made of grid of pixels, usually referred to as a
bitmap. Since vector graphics scale
better and use less space than bitmap images they are commonly used for logos,
flash animations, and EPS files.
Clip art
today comes in many intriguing forms. 3d clip art can seem very realistic,
and can be used in marketing new products. Animated clip art can really spruce
up your website and make it really attractive. Animated gifs can include
science experiments, fireworks, beautiful greeting cards, buttons, and animated cartoon
characters.
