Create Your Own Clip Art!

Need more clip art for your web design? Here is a quick tip for creating clip art using the Artistic Filters built into Image Composer, Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro. What I have discovered is that the Artistic Filters give more convincing results (look more like artwork) when you first take a small low-resolution image, increase the Image Size so that you have a rather blurry image with digital artifacts. Apply the artistic filters to that image for some impressive results.

That technique was used here. The small photo is the original (72dpi) image which was enlarged and cropped. Then I applied the Watercolor filter and the Paint Daub filter. Finally, I sharpened it. The results look quite good. Because the enlarged image has lost detail it seems to make a more convincing graphic after being run through the Photoshop Artistic Filters.

Try it! Experiment to get the best results.
