Editorial Reviews

Product Description

1,200 high-quality color images of traditional and innovative textiles, in print and on CD-ROM. Modeled on the successful Surfaces (1996), this new collection of photographs catalogs how hundreds of varieties of textiles, grouped by structure and surface treatment, look up close and in interior and exterior applications such as window treatments, upholstery, awnings, tents, and floor coverings. Like Surfaces, the book is tailored to research needs in scope and focus, offering examples for architects, interior designers, theatrical and film designers, illustrators, and graphic designers. Interviews with professionals describe how they use visual research in their work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Inspiration, November 13, 2000
By "jaypaint" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I have both of the "surface" books by Ms. Juracek. I have looked through them again and again as a child would with a picture book! These are the kind of photos I often take, to capture the beautiful surfaces that the world has to offer. The images are inspirational starting points for creating my own art work.

4.0 out of 5 stars A review from a 3d perspective, August 2, 2000
By A Customer
As a computer artist, I have found both of Juracek's books to be extremely useful in creating photorealistic textures. Her samples are colorful, varied, and highly recommended.
