Book Description
The Against the Clock Companion Series was designed to work together with application-specific training and skills development books. The books in the series provide background in fundamental design and artistic issues and complement the hands-on, skills-based approach of the Against the Clock applications titles. Courses can be found in Office Information Systems, Computer Science, and Fine Arts Departments, as well as Continuing Education, Journalism, and Printing and Lithography. Today's web design and site management tools have come a long way toward providing even inexperienced designers the tools they need to build complex pages. Little energy is focused, however, on making those pages look good. Simply having functional buttons, images, and even animations on your pages doesn't address fundamental design issues. What looks good? What works best at getting the viewer's attention? These questions and many others are the subject of the Web Design Companion for the Digital Artist. Starting with basic browser display issues, and moving on through the proper use of type elements, positioning and formatting of graphic objects, the inclusion of rich media objects, this book is a powerful addition to any application-specific web design text. Focusing on balance, readability, and effectiveness, this companion book is sure to improve the results of the reader's efforts.

Book Description
The "Design Companion for the Digital Artist" provides the missing elements in the digital artist's library.

From where to get ideas to how to deliver them most effectively, this book introduces concepts such as the proper use of space, the best way to arrange elements on a page, what people see, and much, much more. Whatever book the reader is using to learn the technical application of digital tools, the techniques and issues provided in this book will dramatically improve their results. A Hard Look at Creativity; Developing the Concept; Abstraction, Symbolism, and Visual Metaphor; Putting it all Together; Shape/Container Relationship; Layout; Line; Type; Color; Paper, Binding, and Finishing; Using Pictures Effectively; Publication Design; Illustration; Corporate Identity; Point-of Purchase Display and Packaging; Advertising Design; Web Design and Multimedia.

Color Companion for the Digital Artist

Book Description
The Against the Clock Companion Series was designed to work together with application-specific training and skills development books.

Courses can be found in Office Information Systems, Computer Science, and Fine Arts Departments, as well as Continuing Education, Journalism, and Printing and Lithography. While today's computers are certainly capable of displaying accurate color, and color output has become quite reliable, few application-specific books provide any insight into how to effectively use color. Whether the reader is building print projects in QuarkXPress, web pages in Dreamweaver or FrontPage, illustrations with Illustrator or Freehand, or video productions with Premiere or After Effects, The Color Companion for the Digital Artist will provide help in how color is perceived, what colors work well together, how color models differ from media to media, and much more. Regardless of the design discipline of the reader, this ATC book will result in better looking and more well received documents then ever before.
