ClickArt 750,000 Reviewer's Comments

This product, ClickArt 750,000, is a scaled-down version of Broderbund's ClickArt 950,000 package. This five-disc set has a built-in install feature that makes searching for images faster and more convenient, but image quality can suffer when you store images at lower-resolutions on your hard drive.

Clip Art Variety:  

ClickArt 750,000 offers an impressive variety of clip art available in the box set, but doesn't offer animations.

Search Capabilities:  

ClickArt 750,000 has good search capabilities. The left-hand navigation bar allows you to select the type of image that you want, then you select the type of graphic and then you can enter a keyword for a more specific search. You can also search through all the images at once.

Advanced search options even allow you to search by tone—such as humorous, sentimental, traditional, contemporary, or spiritually-themed clip art. You can create your own favorites file in the program to store clip art images that you frequently access.

Clip Art Quality:  

The quality of the clip art in ClickArt 750,000 is fair to poor. Many of the clip art images aren't as sharp, clear and detailed as images included in other packages. Photos, however, were good quality, including about 100,000 images. The program also includes popular web images for site design.

Customer Service:  

We felt Broderbund customer service was excellent. They responded to our emails promptly and politely.

Summary:  

Though ClickArt 750,000 offers a variety of clip art and the search options are impressive, we recommend other clipart programs over Broderbund's ClickArt 750,000 because of quality issues. For the same price, you can buy our fourth ranked product, The Big Box of Art 410,000. This package offers fewer images but the clip art is better quality.
