5.0 out of 5 stars Author's Description, March 25, 2011
This review is from: Click 1: The Brightest in Computer-Generated Design and Illustration (Hardcover)
Full-color, hardbound survey of the effects of computers on aesthetics in the fields of graphic design, illustration, advertising, animation and media graphics. Foreword contributed by Primo Angeli. Selected as the "Alternative Book of the Month" by the Graphic Artist's Book Club.
Features work by 130 exceptional designers, illustrators and fine artists, all of whom have used the computer as a creative tool in making their work. The artists' processes are fascinating and these are explained throughout the book. For example:
* Textures and shapes were generated from nearly anything scannable, human body parts, jewelry, clay models, photographs, etc.
* Drawn and photographic images were merged and manipulated.
* Sketches were computer-generated, transferred to canvas, and painted traditionally.
* Computer output was combined with traditional mediums like colored pencils, photocopies, torn paper and paint.
All the information on the specific computer tools used is carefully documented - from supercomputers to desktop computers - as well as hardware, software, scanning and output equipment. You'll learn who the client was and the rationale behind the decisions (behiind the scenes commentary from the designers themselves). You'll find this book a source of inspiration and a perfect time capsule documenting the design field's adoption of this paradigm changing tool and its effects on workflow, process, theory and design thinking.
