Easter Clipart
At Easter time many people enjoy decorating everything in sight with clever Easter clipart. Don’t pay for it when it can easily be found for nothing.
Clipart, of which Easter clipart is one small subcategory, is an image or group of images used to spruce up print or other things. In the pre-computer days clipart was the realm of professionals who had the tools necessary to manipulate it. Clipart at that time was cut from one printed piece then added to a new printed piece. The process through which clipart was added to a new project was called paste up – images were literally pasted onto a board. Paste up was obsolete by the early 90s.
Easter clipart was unheard of when computers first appeared as clipart was for business. In 1983 clipart first accompanied a business program. People who purchased Apple’s LaserWriter printer in the mid 1980′s received clipart in the package.
In 1984 T/Maker sold clipart collections. ClickArt, as the collections were called, held the top position in clipart sales for the next 6 years. ClickArt only contained about 200 images. By the mid 1990s clipart was sold in much larger counts. Forget 200, now collections contained 500,000 clipart images.
Around the time that these clipart collections began to grow companies like Microsoft began including clipart collections with their wordprocessing programs. Some of these might have even been Easter clipart. In early 2000s as the Internet became more and more prevalent, these collections went online. Millions of clipart pieces, such as Easter clipart, are now easy to find with a simple Yahoo search.
