Rotate Clip Art to Fit Your Layout

By , About.com Guide

When flipping isn't enough, rotate clip art to the right orientation for your layout. Vector images are the easiest to rotate without distortion. Avoid rotating bitmap image if possible.

When rotating an image, if it contains text, make sure that it is still readable at the angle to which you've rotated it. Be careful about rotating images that normally viewed only in a strong vertical or horizontal orientation such as a picture of the Statue of Liberty or a city skyline.
