More than likely, you have a large inventory of clipart you’ve purchased over the years. But, there’s a catch. The more you buy, the harder it is to find what you need!
In earlier days, clipart came with a book or booklet to make it easy to find the contents of the collection. Purchasers usually got a disk and reference guide they could hold in their hands and store on their bookshelves. Over the past decade, most clipart has been sold as digital downloads. Entire collections can become virtually invisible—stored within various folders inside our hard drives.
In this article, I’ll attempt to supply some guidance and suggestions. You may have already solved the issue, and your solution might be entirely different than mine, but all attempts to organize clipart collections probably face many of the same dilemmas.
