- DESIGNER'S CLUB USER'S GUIDE
- -------------------------------
- All documentation assumes you have a basic understanding of how to use your
- computer and the programs you have purchased for it.
-
- BASIC REQUIREMENTS
- -------------------
- Designer's Club images require application(s) that are compatible with the EPS
- file format. EPS images are saved as Adobe Illustrator 3.0 or 5.0/5.5 files. Filenames
- that contain the letter "V" are saved as Adobe Illustrator 5.0/5.5. Any other
- hardware requirements will be based primarily on the applications you use and
- the type of final output you plan to produce. For best results, your printer
- should be PostScript compatible.
-
- ART SELECTION

- ** Printed Pictorial Index **
- This provides thumbnail and file name for each image in the issue.

- and file names for the images included on this CD. The browser can also be used

- drive. No installation is required to use the Extensis Portfolio Browser. Simply open
- the "Extensis Portfolio Browser" folder and double-click on "Portfolio
- Browser.exe". Once the browser opens, a dialog box will appear. Click once on

- A WARNING TO COLOR USERS
- -------------------------
- The nature of color in desktop publishing is unpredictable. The way a color
- image looks on screen does not necessarily reflect the way it will look when it
- is printed, and different output devices and types of paper may produce
- different results. We recommend that you contact your service bureau and printer
- so that they can insure the kind of color reproduction you need.
-
-
- USING THE CLIP ART
- ------------------
- ** PAGE LAYOUT PROGRAMS **
- Open your page layout program, create a new document and place the EPS file as
- you would any other images. The following page layout programs are compatible
- with the EPS file format:
- *PageMaker
- *QuarkXpress
-
- ** DRAW PROGRAMS **
- Open your draw program and OPEN or IMPORT the EPS file. These images can be manipulated
- like any other EPS image. The following draw programs are compatible with the
- EPS file format:
- *Adobe Illustrator
- *FreeHand
- *Corel Draw! (Import)
- Many of your Designer's Club EPS images are provided as layered illustrations.
- This means that several elements can be lifted out of a single image and used as
- stand-alone artwork. In order to pull apart or separate the layers of an EPS
- file, a PostScript draw program like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia FreeHand is
- necessary.
-
- If your application was not listed above, please refer to your manual for
- compatibility.
