4.0 out of 5 stars
Graphic Designer in Los Angeles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Calligraphic Ornaments CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
The ornamentation is very nice but something anyone buying any of the Dover Electronic Clip Art series books should take into account is that they are not actual clip art items. Dover has just scanned the art and put it on a CD, the items are not scalable or changeable in a usual clip art format. It is very helpful to have the images already scanned but if you want true clip art, this book is not for you.

This review is from: Calligraphic Ornaments CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
Buyers shoud be aware that this book has the same content as an earlier Dover book,Ready-to-Use Calligraphic Ornaments by Kiyoshi Takahashi. This is better becuase it comes with a CD, but it is the same collection of images.
The .eps format dissapointed me...like other reviewers, I was hoping vor vector based images. I did have good results with Illustrator CS2's live trace tool. I turned the images into plain linework, then added the thick/thin look of calligraphy by applying Illustrator's calligraphic brushes. A bit if work, but the results are nice.

This review is from: Calligraphic Ornaments CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
And unfortunately I was looking for true clip art! However, I must say that the ornaments presented are truly stunning, and can easily be used in paper crafting of any kind. I used this book to create labels for gifts and to address holiday envelopes. I am a novice desktop publisher and was not disappointed. Cris Cunningham
