Why Clip Art Was Everywhere Until It Wasn't
Original: Why Clip Art Was Everywhere Until It Wasn't [video]
Clip art once saturated documents, presentations and advertising, but the once-ubiquitous imagery has largely vanished from everyday design. A new video essay traces the format's rise and decline, drawing renewed attention to why Microsoft and other software bundles dropped bundled artwork libraries and how stock photography and design tools replaced the pixelated icons of the 1990s.
Why now: Nostalgia and interest in the history of everyday design trends are driving discussion of clip art's disappearance.
