5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for computer applications!,
This review is from: Celtic Designs CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
This book comes with each design duplicated in a number of formats (gif, jpg, bmp and Mac formats as well!) on a cd rom, which makes this huge clipart collection perfect for graphic design on any computer. About 75% of the designs are animals, ranging from peacocks, a seahorse, to a duck, otter, pelican and fish; but there are also a few spirals, knotwork and key patterns. I have done a few tattoos and created a number of web graphics with the collection, and gotten alot of enjoyment and inspiration from them, and reccomend it to anyone looking for intricate Celtic art (especially zoomorphic desigs), that they can use freely, without worry of Copyright (because there is none, other than a limit on the # of images per publication).

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good quality, but redundant,
This review is from: Celtic Designs CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
The quality of the art in this collection is great, however the majority of the items are animal based. There are few plain geometric patterns and nothing usable as borders, etc. There is another Dover collection that specifically includes Celtic borders. Most of Dover's collections give you a fairly wide selection, but this one is stuck on a theme and is also a bit thin. Only 96 designs! If you are looking for animal motifs in your Celtic clipart, this is the collection for you! If you are looking for anything else, look elsewhere.

Exquisite and useful!,

I love the fact that you can resize the designs. I've used several as the basis of embroidery patterns on cloaks and tunics. They would be great for everything from newsletters to tattoo designs. From borders to circles to neckpieces to animals, this is a great reference that you will use over and over.
