Jun 18, 2018 at 16:16 comment added Billy Kerr If you asked an artist to design you some clip art, it would by definition be pre-made, ready for you to paste into a document. To be honest you seem to be trying to split hairs here. Clip art is just art that has been cut out or clipped, usually without a background, or just on a plain white background.
Jun 18, 2018 at 15:53 comment added Arcandio The wiki article you linked, as well as my general understanding of the term, is more along the lines of "is pre-made images used to illustrate any medium." (emphasis mine) That's what I'm worried about, is that telling an artist to illustrate a clip-art piece would just confuse them, rather than tell them what the border should be like. The Wiki article doesn't contain either the word "edge" or "border" so don't think that communicates what I mean, even if it has a similar meaning.

Jun 18, 2018 at 15:45 comment added Billy Kerr "Clip art" is just a generic name for any style of graphic/illustration which has been cut out (or clipped) for pasting into a document. I thought that was what you were asking. Is that not what you are asking?
Jun 18, 2018 at 15:29 comment added Arcandio Doesn't that imply pre-designed images, also of a particular style? Would it make sense for me to ask an artist to do a custom illustration like clipart? It sounds like I mean the style rather than the format.
Jun 18, 2018 at 15:24 comment added Billy Kerr Perhaps the term you are looking for is clip art?
