Summary:

"At last? Those are the words that most often greet Anne Morgan Spalter's attractive new book-an introduction to computer graphics uniquely focused on the computer as a medium for artistic expression and graphic communication-and the first comprehensive work to combine technical and theoretical aspects of computer art and design.

Integrating theory, examples, and the concepts underlying all the major types of graphics software, Spalter explains the principles and practices that artists, designers, illustrators, and photographers simply must understand to take full advantage of this dynamic, visual medium. Coverage includes: digital painting and photoediting; digital design and layout; the building and rendering of 3D worlds; animation; multimedia; the World Wide Web. Chapters on input and output address the wide range of tools and techniques for working with art and design software.
