Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Big Box of Art is a digital image collection with a variety of images, including clip art, Hemera Photo-Objects, illustrations, photos, Web graphics, and more. It's easy to use and features a search engine to easily locate the perfect image. It also includes two free bonus graphics applications--all in one convenient box.

Included are 5,000 Photo-Objects to use anywhere you would normally use clip art. The advantage of a Photo-Object is the quality of the image itself. Clip art is a line-art drawing of an object. A Photo-Object is a photo of the exact object. The high quality and resolution of each image allows it to be used in all types of projects for maximum impact.

The Big Box of Art includes:

• 180,000 vector clip art images
• 30,000 raster illustrations
• 5,000 Hemera Photo-Objects
• 20,000 professional color photos
• 10,000 professional black-and-white photos
• 2,000 textured photos
• 103,000 Web graphics
• 500 animations
• 500 PhotoFont textures
• 200 templates for use in bonus software

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Box of good stuff, November 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: BIG BOX OF ART (WIN 95,98,ME,NT,2000,XP) (CD-ROM)

I eagerly awaited for this release knowing that Hemera Tech's Photo-Objects were of very high quality. And since this product contains not just photo-objects but also high quality photos, raster images, web graphics, and photofont maker, i decided it is a must.
But it is not all that good. it has its hits and misses. The photos are good and of high quality but the web graphics and the raster images are a dud. What was disappointing was that the photo-objects all came from previous editions of Hemera's photo objects. So it's no use if you already have any of those photo-object editions.
I think they could have come up with a more decent product.

I've purchased one other clip art package before this one, and without question this one beats the old one hands down. Sure, there are a lot of disks, but that's because there are a lot of images. The application used to locate images by type, category and keyword makes it easy to locate the image you're looking for. Switching cds isn't that much of a hassle, because you can see a thumbnail of the image before you decide whether it's the right one and have to reach for the cd. (I bought a cd wallet,and just keep it on my desk or tote it to and from work with me.) The function I've used most is the export function, which allows you to export images according to how you want to use them. Even the vector files, in WMF format, that I tried unsucessfully to import into other progams with my old clipart collection, were easily exported to a usuable format by BBOA's appliation.

I'm an amature/hobbyist designer at home, and a web editor and designer by profession, and thus far this is the best quality, most affordable clip art collection I've come across.

4.0 out of 5 stars It had to grow on me., March 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: BIG BOX OF ART (WIN 95,98,ME,NT,2000,XP) (CD-ROM)

At first, I was a little bothered by the fact that there are no fewer than twenty CDs for this application. But I did like another reviewer and bought a CD wallet just for these CDs, so it's a little more convenient (and portable) now. There are lots and lots of images, which is good, and the fact that the images/objects can be resized (while keeping their clarity and not becoming pixellated!!!!) before export/use is a TREMENDOUS plus. I do webdesign and graphic art as a hobby, and this collection beats many others out there. One of the best things is that the collection includes plenty of ethnic clip art, though most of it is in the vector format (and thereby is a bit cartoonish/less professional). As a black person, I'm just like a lot of the white designers out there; my clients and myself want images and graphics that look like US. This set loses one star for being so cumbersome, but it's the best multi-ethnic archive of clip-art that I've ever seen, so it is definately worth purchasing! Thank you, Hemera.
