Good, but needs a search functionReviewed by CAamazonshopper, 2010-01-23
If you do any PowerPoint, Smart Notebook, or other computer generated presentations, this is a great resource to add visual impact. It could use descriptive file names for rapid searching.
Need an image in a hurry? DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!Reviewed by Time Crunched Designer, 2010-01-21
GAG! What a mistake this was!
No searchability, at all. Does not ship with 1800-page artwork
catalog, which is sold and shipped separately. Does not ship with
Image Guide or Index card that was shipped with older versions.
That means you are forced to spend tons of time searching, like
using Google Images but sloooowwwwer....for the image you want.
Need a construction graphic like I did? Hunt and find it, while
wasting tons of time for images to load from the DVD. Designers
take note...creating your own graphic in Illustrator is probably
faster than finding what you want with this.
Bottom line: I regret spending the money on this albatross of a
program. I paid for expedited shipping to meet a deadline. However,
after hunting and searching for the graphic I need, I have missed
the deadline. I will keep this software because I will need it in
the future, and I will make back what I lost with my client - but
this is NOTHING LIKE THE OLD ART EXPLOSING/800,000 Images.
Can't trust Nova DevelopmentReviewed by True Rocker, 2009-12-02
I purchased an item directly from Nova only to find that they
charged my credit card a higher amount than I had agreed to when
confirming the sale at checkout. The charge they billed my card for
was higher than the confirmation email they sent to me following
the sale.
When I complained about it to Nova, they admitted that their
pricing engine had made a mistake, but insisted that there was
nothing wrong with them unilaterally charging a higher amount than
I had agreed to because the higher price "was the correct amount."
The only remedy they offered was to allow me to return the item AT
MY EXPENSE and then they would refund the charges minus the
original shipping charge.
I will never buy another NOVA product, nor will anybody in my
household.
Deceptive and irresponsible business practices may yield short term
gains, but they have long-term consequences.
My recommendation: buy clipart from the CLICKART company, not from
a company like NOVA that contracts for one price, but bills
another.
Not Worth ItReviewed by Heidi A. Mcgowan, 2009-10-13
I bought this in hope of turning some clip art into paintings for creating canvas, block and tile art without concern for copyright. It was not easy to find specific images such as rooster, grapes etc. Many items were labeled as picture 1, picture 2, so it would not bring up a rooster in the search even though there might have been one. For me I was more interested in clip art as vector, old time images and/or art. These discs contain mostly photographs and real life images. I had ClickArt 250,000 from 2001 and found that more useful to me than this. I can see if you are using it for advertising or if you are a graphic artist but for the everyday, unknown, artist I expected more.
Still the best...Reviewed by B. Pavichevich, 2009-06-29
Still the best product out there for diversity. Something for
everyone and most occasions. But damn it I really need the catalog
for quick searching of the images. Nova used to include the image
catalog with all their products in the past. Now you have to send
for it with an additional fee? Include it in the price and mail it
all together. What a hassle. It's too time consuming to search all
those images by computer.
Also it was much easier to order from Amazon than Nova Development!
What they sent me was 34 individually mailed non-marked disks that
I had to send back. What the heck was that all about?
