Great Japanese Crest Motif Book
I just love this Japanese motif book and CD Rom. I mainly use this book to lay out quilt designs, add the Japanese motifs for my address labels and letter heads. You can transfer the designs onto graph paper for cross stitching or needlepoint. Having the CD Rom to print out these motif designs is just the best thing. It sure beats manually tracing the designs...

Certainly not what I expected.
Pitifully low resolution for the vast majority of the designs, and the high(er) res images were poorly scanned copies. This is not what I've come to expect from Dover. Did not include many well-known kamon.

Having the CD Rom to print out these motif designs is just the best thing. It sure beats manually tracing the designs onto graph paper to enlarge the motifs. All you need to do now is put the CD into your computer, copy, adjust the size of the motif and print. Dover truly makes the best clip arts for your projects.

Nice collection of clipart, but no associated names, sort of like a collection of Scottish Tartans with no clan names

Book arrived fast. The book was helpful but I wish the quality of the images were a little better.

A treasure trove of exquisite designs,

Given the very reasonable price of this book, I think it's a treasure trove. Granted, it would be ideal if these were vector illustrations. Nevertheless, the designs are simply beautiful. As a designer, I plan to use it for inspiration to create my own vector illustrations. Furthermore, the quality is perfectly adequate when they are used small, and/or used for craft purposes where the hand-illustrated quality is welcome.
By all means, if you like the illustrations on the cover, invest in this book! The designs are food for the spirit. |
