5.0 out of 5 stars 800K is enough., October 11, 2003

This review is from: BIG BOX OF ART 800,000 FOR MAC (CD-ROM)

Need clip art? Then get this. It has nearly everything it seems. I searched for "cabinet" and there were an amazing amount of cabinets. It is just a wonderful set of art for a small price. People who do web design will love this product. The search engine is pretty good. I needed to download the patch though, since the search engine kept crashing.

This may be the only collection a smaller designer or hobbyist may ever need, as it's so dang HUGE. The interface is pretty good for searching through this monster, and automates the easy export to a wide variety of formats for various uses.

It's important to note that despite the "media" statement at the top of this page, this is on DVD, not CD-ROM; which is a good thing, as the 30GB of pictures would take up nearly 50 CDs, weight a ton, and need a much bigger box!

1.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating!, January 24, 2005

This review is from: BIG BOX OF ART 800,000 FOR MAC (CD-ROM)

As a graphic designer I found this product to be extremely frustrating. There are no image books that come with this. So if you need an image, you have to use their dvd search engine. While this will find you the images you need, I find it completely exhausting going through 1000's of images while clicking and clicking and clicking image by image. And they are so small. The only way you can view it larger is if you insert the particular DVD that the image is on, and there are 7 DVD's. So I end up putting in one, then the other, etc. I find that it's much easier to look through an actual book so you can just browse through with ease. I'll never purchase another image collection without the printed book!
