Dover Disappointment,
By Old Dominion (Woodbridge, VA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ancient Egyptian Design (Dover Pictura Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
I use a lot of Dover clipart and this 'design series' is the first real disappointment. They want a premium price for this clip-art, and here's what you get for it;
Large sized images, many in excess of 3000px, but much of the art is obviously just re-scanned at a higher dpi. That doesn't necessarily improve the quality of the lines and colors. Colors which should be solid are instead, dithered, and often fail to fully fill up their apportioned areas, leaving margins of white space. Black lines are not entirely black, and are not entirely there. The bottom line is that these scans are very poor quality and require a lot of touch-up before they can be morphed and used in a project. Added to the fact that there's half as many pieces of clip art as you'd find in a Dover book that costs 1/3rd as much, and that there's 'filler' clips which are just about useless because they're essentially showing you the original pictures from where a pattern was pulled, this 'designer series' is a huge disappointment. One made worse if you bought any of these at full price. Do yourself a favor, buy these off the used bookshelf, there's good reason that they're so much less expensive there.
