COLORING AND OUTLINING

Some folks that tried out our clipart sets told us that our clipart sets are too boring. One color and that's all. Truth is that you can easily make our vector objects more colorful than a rainbow :-) and we'll show you how.

[Slightly off-topic: When designing for our clients and ourselves, we prefer one-to-three colors approach. Classy, 2-3 colors documents and sites are trend nowadays, smooth and simplified line art is a trend too.]

Here's the bird again, now outlined. You can easily add the outline to a vector art, or completely loose it, or change its color and thickness.

Notice the white X box at the top of the colors bar. By clicking on it, you're removing an object's fill color (so it becomes transparent). By right-clicking on it, you're removing the outline.

Click on any color to fill out the drawing. Right-click on any color to set its outline color. Press F12 to open Outline Pen Dialog which allows advanced outline customization. Make several copies of the bird and play with them some.

And there are more and more effects you couldn't ever achieve if it hasn't been vector graphics. More about this later.

You can also color differently parts of the same vector image. It took us less than a minute to color the policeman from our "Police Clipart" set:
