Welcome to the BrewArt Collection, volume #2 (for Macintosh)! copyright 1994 George (Ty) Tempel ABSTRACT: This collection is the second edition of a set of brewing related clip art that I am in the process of creating and compiling. I have used some of these elements on my beer labels, and a few of my network-friends have found them helpful as well. DESCRIPTION: The artwork is provided in the form of PICT files, which are easily handled by nearly all major applications in the Macintosh universe. I considered converting some stuff to EPS (postscript) format, but not everyone out there has access to nice postscript printers, such as myself. Since the files are PICTS, it is feasible to convert them to one or more various DOS/Windows formats, but you will loose information in the conversion process. Since I don't have a DOS/Windows machine (insert large grin here), I cannot do the conversion for you, so it is left as an exercise for the user (didn't you hate it when textbooks would do that?). Also, as an added feature, any text in the clip art is provided in the form of bezier outlines, so you don't need to have the fonts on your system. This allows a safe distribution method, as fonts are copyrighted and usually cannot be freely distributed. Most of the advanced graphics software today has the ability to convert outline fonts (PostScript or TrueType) into bezier outlines that can be edited with the application, just as if you had drawn them yourself. Just for the record, I created the artwork using Canvas 3.5, Color-It 2.3.2, and Adobe Streamline 3. Some of the artwork is pre-colored, but you can change that if you like. I have an accellerated Macintosh II (Dove Racer, 32MHz), a DeskWriter inkjet printer, and the Logitech ScanMan. I also find that if you wish to use Avery labels, try to find a box of #5164, which are 3.33" x 4". They come right off of the bottle when you use a little B-Brite cleanser, and some graphics programs support the Avery label formats for templates (mine didn't, however). THE FINE PRINT: This collection is released as brew/credit-ware (I know, an awkward term, but you'll see that it fits). If you decide to use any of the clip art from the collection, you must give me, George (Ty) Tempel, partial credit for the artwork and send me a bottle of the homebrew that you've labelled. It's just that simple. No messy fees, etc. Please remember that it is unlawful to send alcohol via the US Postal Service, but private carriers (UPS, FedEx, Airborne, etc), _can_ ship the stuff, just make sure that the brew is securely packaged (try placing the bottles into tight plastic bags just in case...). I have shipped several bottles without problems, but sometimes I label the contents as "food", "yeast culture equipment", or "glassware" and have never had a problem (knock on formica).
