 Was ready to Explode! March 8, 2005
26 out of 30 found this review helpful
Purchased Nova 800,000 Clip Art and was very disappointed in the quality of the clip art and extremely labor intensive navigation system. After working with the software for about an hour I was ready to Explode! If you have nothing but time on your hands then you may enjoy the program. Just not user friendly!
Thank you Amazon.com for the excellent customer service and speedy refund!
 Unbelievable collection of clip art and photos December 15, 2004

I've purchased every edition of Art Explosion clip art and can not imagine working in graphics without them. The photos alone would be worth thousands if purchased from other companies and the variety of clip art is phenomenal. The manual is about three inches thick and easily enables you to find any subject you can imagine. I've never done a review before, but Art Explosion is a steal.
Very Well Organized, Easy to Use November 17, 2004

I own a number of clip art products, and Art Explosion 800,000 is by far the best. I've seen them bigger but never better. I run a freelance design business, and the quality of the graphics I use is of critical importance. I can tell you that the quality of the graphics in Art Explosion 800,000 is first-rate.
It's true that there's no online searching, but it's also true that you don't need it. I've found that other clip art publishers use searching as a crutch. You see, so many products are so poorly organized that the only way you have a hope of finding a useful image is with a sophisticated searching tool. Not true with Art Explosion. Art Explosion 800,000 is impecably well organized by category and subcategory. Absolutely everything is exactly where you'd expect to find it - and the images are listed in plain English (not the old DOS 8-dot-3 file names you still find in most other collections). So it's as easy as it gets.
No question that this product is at the top of its game for good reason. I definitely recommend it.

Outdated Horrendous software. No search function. Terrible interface. Images so so. You have 50 hours in a day? Then go for it.
Holy Cow, what a bad search function September 4, 2004

This product has a lot of images. If you have a LOT of time to go thru them, it may be useful. There is NO, repeat, NO, searchablitiy by keyword. None. If you are looking for something that might have to do with say money, you get the book, look in the brief index - which does not cover the photographs at all by the way - and then go look on the various (and few) pages listed by each word in the index. Then you need to determine which disk that the image might be on.
If you want to find a photo, prepare to sit down and start going thru the cds. The book, which they tout as a great way to see previews of the images, includes only has a sample photo from each of the "categories" of photos - so you are NOT getting a thumbnail of all the photos in the book.
For someone who wants to quickly look up a keyword and see what images they might have to offer - this is worse than worthless because you know that on the 34 disks, there's probably something there you could use, but there's no way a normal person who probably has some time demands is going to sit and play around putting in disk after disk and browsing. So you are frustrated knowing there's probably something for you, but you just don't have the time to mess around looking.
If you need a photo of say, a senior citizen, and you have unlimited time, you're probably just as well off taking one yourself.
It wouldn't be that difficult for these folks to put together some kind of a search utility that might actually render the product useful. Perhaps an image gallery online. Hopefully they will put it together and stop wasting our money and time.
