How to Copy the Funny Graduation Clip Art from This Page

If you like any of the graduation clipart shown here then:

• right click your mouse over the image and select "copy" (Cntrl + C)
• enter your word processing package and select “paste” (Cntrl + V) .

How to Re-Size Your Funny Graduation Clip Art

It is amazingly easy to either make your graduation clipart bigger or smaller - just follow the simple instructions below:

• Click on the picture and some little squares will appear around the perimeter of the image
• Move your mouse over one of the squares on the corner
• Right click your mouse and drag your mouse in the desired direction depending on whether you want to increase or decrease the size of the graduation clipart.

Rotate your Funny Graduation Clip Art

Even just tilting your graduation clipart to the side a bit can make it more interesting or using several graduation clipart and tilting them in different directions. You are sure to have fun playing around with different designs. To do this I use Microsoft Word 2003 and click on the image I wish to rotate and I can then select one of the rotate buttons on the picture toolbar.

Text Wrapping

There are various text wrapping options you can choose that determine how the wording and graduation clipart image will work together on the page. Within your word document click on the image and select the various word wrapping options from the picture toolbar and experiment. The options available are:

• In line with text - this is the default and it basically means that the funny graduation clip art is inserted where ever the curser is when you choose inert or paste and the text that you type will start appearing underneath the image.
• Square text wrapping - this is where a square space surrounds your funny graduation clip art and the text wraps around this square.
• Tight - this means that the text actually wraps itself tightly around the shape of the image.
• Behind Text - this option puts the graduation clipart in the background with text over the top of it. This works best if you “washout” your graduation clipart first.
• Top and Bottom - this is where you can add text both above and below the image.

There are a few others but I think the 5 above are the most useful.

Apply a Washout to Your Funny Graduation Clip Art

You can actually apply a washout to any funny graduation clip art at all. If you do this and then stretch the funny graduation clip art to cover your whole page and add some great text over the top it makes really great graduation announcement or invitations. I have done exactly this for some of my free printable graduation invitations - why not have a look for some inspiration.

If you would like to give this a try then just follow the simple directions below:

• Copy the funny graduation clip art from this or any of the other web pages onto your word document.
• Right-click with your mouse over the top of the graduation clipart image within your word document.
• Select "format picture".
• Select the "picture" tab.
• Choose the “washout” option for “color”.
• Select the “Layout” tab and choose the “behind text” option.
• You are now ready to add whatever wording you desire.

Crop the Funny Graduation Clip Art

If for whatever reason you would like to chop part of a funny graduation clip art image off then here are some easy instructions for you to follow. This technique is especially useful for photographs when you maybe want to cut out some boring background if there is too much of it showing but perhaps there will be an occasion when you'd like to home in on a particular component of a graduation clipart image too.

• Copy the graduation clipart from this or any of the other web pages onto your word document.
• Right-click with your mouse over the top of the clipart image within your word document.
• Select "format picture".
• Select the "picture" tab.
• Next just adjust the "crop from" options (left, right, top and bottom) in order to obtain the desired result.

How to Change the Color of the Funny Graduation Clip Art

This is a fantastic discovery. I can change the color of any component of a graduation clipart image. It is a little fiddley but well worth having a go at. Again I used Microsoft Word 2003 in order to do this.

• Copy the clipart from the web page onto your word document.
• Right-click with your mouse over the top of the graduation clipart image within your word document.
• Select "show picture tool bar".
• Move your mouse over all the icons on the picture toolbar until you find the "set transparent color" option (looks a bit like a rubber with an arrow head at the bottom).
• Now click with your mouse over the component of the graduation clipart which you would like to change the color of - this will wash the color out.
• Right-click with your mouse over the top of the clipart image within your word document again.
• Select "format picture"
• Select "Color and lines"
• Select a color under the "fill" category and click OK
• Immediately you will see that you clipart color has changed.

How fantastic is that - did you know that the color purple is synonymous with graduation.
