Hi,

I am starting to do my own kits but am unsure about clip art and where to get some good clip art without paying a thousand dollar fee, which I saw on one site! I have some clip art galleries but it says you can not do things that would use the image digitally at 300 dpi. Well that is what a kit is right? One site said it could not be included on something that could be downloaded and mass distributed. Again that's what what kits are. So I am baffled as to where the people who create kits get their clip art. I know Dover but those are older pictures and I am looking for more modern clip art. I do have some Dover books and will get more because it looks like those are OK for kits that I may try to sell at some point. At a loss here, any suggestions? I am willing to buy a gallery but I think anything over say $100 - $200 is too much for a "hobby," if I was selling kits then a more expensive gallery might be ok but for now my pocket book is too small!

Thanks,
Carla

Thank you! It looks like they are a possibility!

I found a copy of their terms on a website, I am assuming that they have not changed too much.

Where I get confused it with this statement: "YOU MAY NOT 3. use the Image(s) in electronic format, online or in multimedia applications unless the Image(s) are incorporated for viewing purposes only and no permission is given to download and/or save the Image(s) for any reason; " By this I assume I can use the images to make brushes, use them as textures and incorporate them into tags as long as I do not make an image by itself as an element. Am I understanding this corrcectly?

Generally what that sort of statement means is that you cannot use the image as is, it needs to be part of paper or element ( an dteh elements cant just be the picture) in our case. Brushes are a grey area - since really you havent modified the image it can be argued that you are not meeting the terms unless the image is combined or altered so that its is appreciably different from the original image, ie simply turning a flower photo object into a brush would be very close to if not actually against the terms.
Its a complicated area..if you are interested in designing commercially then you should consider a designer resource site such as promos4digiscrappers
