But IÆve never seen this image before...

Before we discuss Source Art, it is important to point out that Idea Source projects,
Gallery ideas and all demonstration videos use artwork from Clipper, Electronic
Clipper, DesignerÆs Club and Electronic Print Media Service art products.  If you see
images that donÆt appear familiar to you, chances are they were supplied by a
different art service than the one you subscribe to.  It is for this reason that
content of Idea Source tends to place more importance on the techniques and creative
ways to manipulate ANY illustration, not just the ones seen in the demonstrations.
What you learn from an Idea Source session can be applied many different ways.  WeÆll
supply the ideas and techniques that you can add to your "bag of tricks." If you do
see one of those "I sure could have used that one" images, you will also see where it
came from.  Idea Source sections provide an image number and the name of the art
service that the image came from.

Idea SOURCE ART - What is it?
The artwork that you find in the SRC_ART directory is provided to you as a free bonus
and can help to serve two purposes.  First, images included in the SRC_ART directory
can be used to take examples created in Idea Source a step further.  Experimenting
with what you have seen without having to start from scratch.  Second, if you do not
have access to the software or artwork used to create these examples, you can still
take advantage of the results.  Lastly, in the process of making Idea Source, we
create original artwork that is specific to that month's issue.  We will provide for
you, many of the backgrounds, textures, animations, 3D models and scripted buttons
and slider from Idea Source, in the SRC_ART directory each month. These images are
most often designed for screen applications (72 dpi) and are cross-platform
compatible.
