Pages Clipart Hits the 1000 (and You Thought the Holiday Season Was Over!)

If we’re not mistaken, you’re the kind of person who has a penchant for the unique, the creative, and the expressive. After all, you are now browsing this site and even bothered to peek at the blog section. You might also have an enthusiasm for teacup-sized dogs or monster trucks, which is perfectly fine with us--although incidentally, it also has less to do with us. But the unique, creative, and expressive part? Yeah, no problem, we can handle that!

And what can be a better way of lending these three magic qualities to your presentations, invitations, Web pages, posters, newsletters, and virtually any text content than 500 brilliant clipart images from Jumsoft, you may ask? 1000 brilliant clipart images from Jumsoft, we reply. That is ONE THOUSAND pictures of superb quality for $39!

As long as we’re at it, this vast collection of 1000 imagines consists of a wonderful palette of choices...a bed, a stapler, a CCTV camera, a positive pregnancy test, and a Bactrian camel. Such are just a handful of examples (in the order of probability of seeing them in real life, although the camel’s placement on the list highly depends on your residential area). The best part is that use of the Pages Clipart 6.0 images is not limited to Pages: you can also use them in Keynote, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and a variety of graphic editing programs.

Pages Clipart 6.0 treats you to the same perks that led you to fall in love with its predecessor: transparent backgrounds that allow the placement of images on a variety of colors and patterns, as well as PDF format capabilities (in addition to the standard PNG) that enables images to be resized without sacrificing excellent quality.

In case you don’t want to get yourself into anything back-breaking, which we understand perfectly well, you can relax. Pages Clipart 6.0 is just about as easy to use as it gets. It is not even an application and does not require installation. All you need to do is download the package from this site, copy the Pages Clipart 6.0 folder to any location on your computer that you prefer (e.g., Documents) and use the images whenever you like. Use the Copy and Paste functions or simply drag and drop a selected image onto your document.

You’ll just have to experience it for yourself. So check the samples here, and hit the Buy Now button here to get your own 1000 images!

Make It Simply Good with Pages Templates Pro

When you're starting a new business, the last thing you want to focus on is failure. At least that’s what Google says after you enter the phrase “starting a new business” in the search field. This is definitely, absolutely correct. Having said that, there are a few next worst things to focus on: whom to fire first, what happens if your tax cheat gets caught, or which design agency would charge you the least for creating a flabbergastingly boring corporate style.

That’s the part where we step in with our capes flapping dramatically, our fists clenched and pulsing into the sky, and a cohort of scantily clad burlesque dancers performing a meticulously orchestrated routine on a staircase lined with flashing lights. Seriously, we do. And concurrently, we bring you an upgrade of our beautiful line of document templates created specifically for businesses, Pages Templates Pro. This is officially the easiest, cheapest, and most stylish way to obtain a decent set of exquisitely designed documents that will unfailingly represent your business.

Pages Templates Pro contains twelve packs that you are likely to have already seen on our Web site and eight fresh additions. The Acid Bright pack has a jolly ambience without being tacky and childish. Competitive Base is striking and original, making a display of sales offers quite stylish. Fresh Grass screams, “Think green!” and does it in a lively and attractive way. Mini Color flashes with bright backgrounds and minimalist details. Pattern Cut with its deep colors and subtle styling is a great way to convey reliability and harmony. Choose Retrospective for the über-cool feel of European cinema in the ‘60s, and this will also work for fans of minimalism. The unfussy Polaroid frames pasted to the elaborate vintage wallpaper of the Polaroid Portfolio templates injects some cheeky playfulness into the serious world of business. Finally, Star Studio is engineered for success, emanating spirit, strength, and reliability.

Each pack of Pages Templates Pro includes five different templates in a uniform style: Brochure, Business Card, Envelope, Invoice, and Letter. All documents are available in the A4 and U.S. Letter formats. You can type in the template or paste text from another place, add and remove text boxes, change fonts, and drag your photos or pictures onto placeholders to replace the standard pictures. There are so many ways to make the templates your own!

Mail Stationery 3.0: Balanced for Everyone

Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel a weird rush in your head? A penchant for bizarre kidnapping of your common sense without a promise to ever give it back? When you are desperate for some real action, and the only three options that come to mind are: 1) jumping on your bed in green pajamas while reciting Dante’s Divine Comedy; 2) getting your head shaved and trashing someone’s car with an umbrella; 3) sending the whole office an e-mail depicting the chairman of the board in a “wanted” poster—we can help with the last.

Actually, we can also help if you are a perfectly adequate individual and have never even dreamed of owning green pajamas. Surely, you do have a circle of friends, acquaintances, and relatives who deserve a lovely and original holiday card—and by “original,” we mean no sappy reindeer and no fluffy white beards managing to release the scent of nylon from a computer screen. It should be a proper greeting, one that sparks a smile and makes your loved ones think of mulled wine, a fireplace, and the smell of fresh snow. Like the ones in Mail Stationery 3.0.

We do offer fantastic Apple Mail templates for the situations described above and for many more special and not-so-special occasions. Whether it’s an invitation, a newsletter, a small reminder, or a joke you want to send, you will definitely find an appropriate design in this collection of 100 templates—plus 10 bonus Christmas greetings, plus 200 designs from previous releases, plus lots of different color schemes and design variations included in most of the templates. Wow, that’s a lot of opportunities to get your e-mail noticed and appreciated!

We are especially proud of two design-focused lines, Ink Sense and Cardboard Gallery. You can use these for a variety of purposes, but no matter what you do, they will always look great: simple, stylish, and funny. As usual, many templates have image placeholders, allowing you to blend your own images into the background. And don’t forget to click on the template backgrounds, which may reveal a totally different color scheme or text (check the “See you in 1 minute!” template).

As with most of our products, you simply need to download the package, follow the installer’s instructions, and find a set of fresh, crisp templates in the New Message section of Apple Mail. Easy!

NOW We Are Finished with the Keynote Bundles: Meet Keynote Quartet FX’10

This is officially over. The seemingly endless stream of blog entries on Keynote products will stop, for the new Keynote Quartet FX’10 is launched, including all four releases of the past month: Keynote Animations FX 7.0, Keynote Objects FX 4.0, Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0, and the freshly squeezed Keynote Themes FX 5.0.

The total result is 150 objects, 100 animations, 35 motion backgrounds, and 15 motion themes in one brilliant bundle. Plus, if for some reason you find a total of 300 Keynote tools worth less than the $99 we ask for them, worry not. We have added a whole bunch of bonus products: 425 still themes, objects, and photos. Do we have a deal now?

Go on and delve into the world of Keynote presentations so good they capture, mesmerize, and never let go. Find perfect illustrations for your ideas; add some animations for further excitement; perk your slides up with swirling and swaying backgrounds; or just opt for full motion themes complete with matching backgrounds, fonts, frames, and even bullets. Prove to everyone that professionalism and fun are far from mutually exclusive. In fact, the more often you mix the two together, the more appreciative nods your audience will give in return, we promise.

Forget studying tutorials and the other mind-numbing drudgery that tends to accompany any attempt to do something different. Most of the products in the bundle don’t even need to be installed: just download the folders, save them where you like, and feel free to drag and drop objects, animations, or backgrounds onto your slides. In the QuickTime Inspector, choose Loop under the Repeat pop-up for never-ending action of the animations and backgrounds. With respect to the motion themes, download the package and simply follow the installer’s orders, which will eventually lead to a collection of new stunning themes in the Themes Chooser of Keynote. Simple!

We Are Not Finished with the Keynote Bundles: Meet Keynote Themes FX 5.0

“We [...] have Keynote Themes, Keynote Backgrounds, Keynote Carrots, Keynote Obamas, and Keynote Everything You Ever Wanted.”

We always wanted to quote ourselves. It’s like taking oneself to an embarrassingly high level, especially if a phrase, “as someone reeaaalllly smart once said,” is involved in the process.

Um, lost my train of thought. Oh right, the last component of our Keynote line has been updated, and, alas, it’s not Keynote Carrots (c). Keynote Themes FX proudly joined the fellowship of products that have recently had the digits with periods and zeros in their names upgraded, making an official comeback as Keynote Themes FX 5.0.

In case you forgot, the Keynote Themes FX bundle was produced for your high-toned presentations by people who without a doubt have a way with design. Thus, you can share your ideas, proposals, contracts, and solutions in a surprisingly elegant way (surprisingly for your audience because you are no longer surprised by the quality of our designs) to secure the best results. Don’t be worried about the live themes with motion backgrounds drawing your audience’s attention away from your message. Actually, the themes are here to help you set the most engaging and exciting mood without troubling yourself for more than three seconds.

The new bundle includes 15 themes: five fresh ones (Air Blobs, Crystal Clear, DNA Chain, Glass Beads, and Neuro Threads) and ten themes from the previous version. Each of them consists of 14 master slides, allowing you to choose the very best layout for your information every single time.

You don’t need to study a tutorial or to learn how to use these fancy themes of ours. Your previous experience with Keynote gives you everything you need to know. Just select a theme from the Chooser, apply it to your slides, and focus on the content. You can also conveniently export your presentation with Keynote Themes FX to QuickTime.

As usual, you can savor the samples here and purchase your own copy of Keynote Themes FX 5.0 here. You know, we’d really love to be in the audience when you use it!

Fight for Attention with Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0

Back in her days as a business school student, the author of this article would have been quite impressed to see an array of coins piling up and flying apart on a professor’s presentation slide. That would have been a lovely visualization of how the interbank money market works. Students may be harder to impress these days--a whole three years have passed, after all--but there’s no way even high-school kids could let a futuristic Hollywood-style light tunnel with only Will Smith lacking slip unnoticed. And if you can get *them* to look at your slides, there is no audience you cannot reach, mind you.

If you are wondering where to find this magical place where coins can fly and Will Smith can be omitted from a futuristic set containing the words “futuristic,” “tunnel,” and “light” in its description, we are not going to play the part of the unassuming ingénue: simply see Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0. It will make your presentations more engaging. Honestly.

Select one of 10 brand-new backgrounds or 25 classic, well-crafted backgrounds from the previous versions and observe how it instantly makes over your presentation. Go crazy--select all 40 of them for different slides if you want, although that might be a bit much. This package gives you the sublime power of capturing your audience’s attention and retaining it for as long as you wish. It will make you look wildly cool and professional to boot, if you can imagine such a combination.

To pour some life all over your slides, only four steps are required: buy, download, and unzip the package; then, apply your background as you would any other movie or image. In addition, Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0 movies are prepared for looping to allow the endless playback of any of the backgrounds in the bundle. After choosing the QuickTime Inspector in Keynote, simply select "Loop" under the Repeat pop-up.

You’re welcome to view samples of Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0 and buy the package here. Then, make sure your rhetorical abilities equal the quality of your slides for the ultimate effect!

A Guide to Tricking People with Keynote Objects FX 4.0

“Wow, is that a rabbit-shaped shrub in your presentation? Where did you find it, and how on earth did you crop it from the photo so neatly? I’m guessing that must have been a real hassle!” “Um, you know, I’m quite handy with these fancy graphic editors for a pin salesman...”

Ahem, sir, we hate to interrupt your attempt at picking up the gorgeous blonde from the nineteenth floor, but you’re stretching the truth to the max here. Instead of giving your neighbor’s green fence a horrendous shape, taking a photo of it, and then fiddling with PhotoShop for hours, you simply bought Keynote Objects FX 4.0 from our Web site. That’s a massive cutback in effort, but it’s also a very effective step, don’t you think? We suggest that you tell her you’re extremely clever instead of reducing yourself to a pretentious liar.

Now that we have tried our hand at a spectacular piece of creative writing, let us finally present Keynote Objects FX 4.0, a great set of eye-catching 3D images suitable for virtually any presentation that needs vividness, color, and realism. The 100 objects from the previous version have been boosted with 50 brand-new gripping images of ultimate quality. In fact, they are realistic enough to completely fool your audience into believing it has just seen a photo image of a tribal mask, a washing machine, or a pile of soft towels.

All 150 objects are rendered in 3D and optimized for presentation on huge screens, as their dimensions range up to 1000 px. Besides, they are compatible with Apple Pages as well as MS PowerPoint and Word, allowing you to enhance text documents and share your work with PC users.

To further reassure you that the step taken by Mr. Pin Salesman is a very clever one, we’d like to tell you what it takes to start using Keynote Objects FX 4.0. The program is not even an application and does not need to be installed.

Copy them to any location you want (e.g., Documents) and use the objects whenever and wherever you like. Use Copy & Paste, or simply drag a selected object onto your presentation and drop it.
