Graphic Image-making: Contemporary Digital Illustration instructs the reader, through detailed, step-by-step tutorials, in the skills and techniques used by the masters of digital image-making. With the growth of computer arts, designers are now using Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash as much as QuarkXPress. These designers are combining handcrafting skills with modern techniques to produce a fresh creative aesthetic. Graphic Image-making reveals the secrets of the industry's most successful creatives who transfer traditional illustrative skills into digital dimensions, producing the highest quality, most commercially successful animation, three-dimensional and vector-based illustration. This book offers a master class for students and professional designers and illustrators who want to take their work beyond the constraints of two-dimensions and to gain greater commercial success.
