Top 6 Clip Art Collections for Macintosh

By Jacci Howard Bear, About.com

Key points to consider when choosing a package are style, variety, and format. You may develop preferences over time, but initially look for a wide range of styles such as modern, retro, or cartoonish. You'll also want a variety of types of images such as food, people, and shapes. EPS images will generally provide the most flexibility.
