Guide Review - The Big Box of Art
The Big Box of Art from Hemera is an awesome collection of clip art, illustrations, photos, photo-objects, and Web graphics that enhances any desktop publishing collection.
With thousands of images in many styles and categories there is something for most any type of project you can imagine. There are over 20 CDs in the box making the ability to find the right image for your needs and get it into your application of paramount importance. The easy-to-use image catalog and export utility comes to the rescue admirably.
I found the bonus software nice, but limited. However, I recommend The Big Box of Art, not for the free software; but, for the 350,000 quality images and the powerful search engine.
