Information: Welcome to the world of American Beauty Collage. We call ourselves "collage" because of the wide variety of styles and techniques employed to create our designs. The Dimensional Borders volume contains 50 fancy borders and smaller frames for all your art projects. These are not your blah borders for the usual business purposes; they are artistic designs for flyers, newsletters, greeting and notecards, posters,framed prints, cover pages, and so on. Shading and perspective have been used to create the illusion of depth, carving, embossing, or wrought metal. These effects are quite difficult and time consuming to create, and that is why they are so seldom seen in PCX format, which is the format most sought after by users. Although many of the designs don't show up well on the screen, they print out beautifully. Also, they can be resized without losing quality of shading, a characteristic not often found in bitmaps. These files are compressed, and must be uncompressed to your hard disk. Do this as follows: C:\>md borders (or directory name of your choice) c:\>cd borders c:\>borders>copy b:\(or a:\)*.* c:\>pkunzip *.zip Because these are very high resolution images--clean and sharp--they are large, and occupy many bytes. If your hard disk is crowded (and whose isn't?), you may copy the uncompressed images to floppy disks, and import them into your applications directly from the floppies. A registration fee of $10.00 brings our newsletter catalog, and entitles you to purchase additional images in several catagories as they become available. If you cannot afford the registration fee, enjoy using the designs, and pay when you can. At this time, we have two additional design packs available, and much more coming--borders, pewter shaded clip art, medallions, abstract designs, geometrics, labels--beautiful, fanciful, and/or whimsies. Our original, unique type of artwork cannot be obtained elsewhere. Thank you sincerely for trying American Beauty Collage images. Send registration fee to: V. R.
