Overview

DIGITAL DESIGN BASICS integrates the instruction of digital imaging skills with design principles and art/design history, offering a unique combination of concept, theory, technique, and design instruction. Providing a unique combination of images from the history of art and design, contemporary computer graphics, digital student portfolio examples, and step-by-step diagrams, the text bridges two overlapping and merging areas: art and communications technology. By relating core aesthetic concepts to computer graphics software instruction, DIGITAL DESIGN BASICS addresses how to build and integrate strong design technique with developing computer skills in Illustrator, Photoshop, and other raster and vector programs.
