Kurzbeschreibung:

[b][i]Foundations of Digital Art and Design, Second Edition
[/i][/b] Fuses design fundamentals and software training into one cohesive approach!
All students of digital design and production-whether learning in a classroom or on their own-need to understand the basic principles of design. These principles are often excluded from books that teach software. [i]Foundations of Digital Art and Design[/i] reinvigorates software training by integrating design exercises into tutorials that fuse design fundamentals and core Adobe Creative Cloud skills.

The result is a comprehensive design learning experience organized into five sections that focus on vector art, photography, image manipulation, typography, and effective work habits for digital artists. Design topics and principles include: Bits, Dots, Lines, Shapes, Unity, Rule of Thirds, Zone System, Color Models, Collage, Appropriation, Gestalt, The Bauhaus Basic Course Approach, Continuity, Automation, and Revision.

This book:
[*]Teaches art and design principles with references to contemporary digital art alongside digital tools and processes in Adobe Creative Cloud
[*]Addresses the growing trend of compressing design fundamentals and design software into the same course in universities and design colleges
[*]Times each lesson to be used in 50 to 90-minute class sessions with additional practice materials available online
[*]Includes free video screencasts that demonstrate key concepts in every chapter

"This ambitious book teaches visual thinking and software skills together. The text leads readers step-by-step through the process of creating dynamic images using a range of powerful applications. The engaging, experimental exercises take this project well beyond the typical software guide."
