Graphic Design Sources by Kenneth J. Hiebert "In this book, an award-winning graphic designer and teacher addresses students, educators, computer graphics users, practicing designers, and others seeking to understand the principles and process of good design. Interweaving theory and concrete, creative activity, he demonstrates the integration of such stimuli as nature, music, personal experience, statistical data, vernacular expression, and architecture in well-designed work." "With clear explanations and hundreds of revealing illustrations, Hiebert discusses and demonstrates the process of design creation: first finding more universal and latent beginning points inherent in sources, then engaging in a thought process that leads to fresh and unpredictable interpretive results. The computer is used as an enabling tool while avoiding the cliche forms of obvious computer-generated design."--BOOK JACKET. Return to Top

Portfolios

Designing a Digital Portfolio by Cynthia L. Baron
"Anyone working as an artist or designer today has a wealth of tools and media at their disposal to show off their work. However, pulling together a focused, effective digital portfolio requires more than just a mastery of tools and design: You need to choose a medium, develop a concept, digitize traditional work, optimize and repurpose digital art, consider copyright issues, test the portfolio, and more. Lucky for you, noted designer, author, and educator Cynthia L. Baroncovers all of this and more in her practical and inspiring Designing a Digital Portfolio. Through step-by-step instructions and real-world examples, this beautiful four-color volume shows you how to tailor your portfolio to target markets and avoid common pitfalls of digitizing, organizing, and delivering the final product, whether on CD, DVD-ROM, or the Web. Along the way you'll find quotes and case studies from agency heads, art directors, and designers. Numerous sidebars offer brass-tacks explanations of a number of topics: hardware and DVD-content checklists, resolution and image-size do's and don'ts, a primer on Adobe Acrobat, an of overview of Apple's iDVD, and more.
