2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing collection,
By
This review is from: Japanese Designs CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
Those of you who may have read that this collection has vector art files--beware. There are .eps files but they merely contain jpgs of the clipart. While the selection is OK, I found the artwork to be a little shabby. It seemed like they were scanned from something. Some types of designs that I were hoping would be in there, like kimono motifs, were not. Is it useful? Certainly. Disappointing? Definitely.

Very nice for faces, animals and repeating motifs,
By Atheen M. Wilson "Atheen" (Mpls, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Japanese Designs CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
I've been looking through this series for ideas for polymer and metal clay jewelry designs. The faces and figures are lovely, and the repeating motifs of flowers and geometrics are very nice. The dragons are a little lame, but I like Chinese dragons. The gin spirits are delightful and so active, they more than make up for the lazy dragon motifs. A very passible source for design ideas.

Great design source,
By IMWriter (Geneva, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Designs CD-ROM and Book (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
This book offers excellent designs, if you're after an Asian aesthetic the way I am, and the CD-ROM allows you to size the designs on your computer. Very useful for the wearable art and etched jewelry we make!
