 Grids for the Internet & Other Digital Media - by Veruschka Gotz... Grids are the organizing principle behind every successful piece of graphic design. You've seen chaotic, unstructured, poorly sign-posted websites, which leave us lost in an unmanageable jumble of information overload. A noted international designer and typographer encourages screen-based designers to establish an efficient hierarchy of information with clear layouts, proving how good design can generate visual logic. A well thought out grid system for the screens thereby allows the screen designer to create order, so that the users can easily orient themselves and find information. Includes successful examples of onscreen grids from leading international companies such as Adidas, Lufthansa, Jaguar, Daimler Chrysler, and Veuve Clicquot. - Paperback: 160 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.75 x 11.75 x 9.25; Publisher: Sterling Publications; (October 2002) Price: $24.47 The Perfect Digital Portfolio - by Stephen Romaniello... This is not only what I consider to be one of the most inspiring "portfolio" books on the market, but it's also a wonderfully designed and produced package of killer idea starters! If you can stop looking at the fabulous graphics and printing job long enough to READ, you'll learn the potential of using electronic media to display your portfolio to the fullest of its potential.

Fred Showker - Paperback: 144 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.60 x 10.70 x 7.64; Publisher: Sterling Publications; (May 2003) Price: $24.47  A Beginners Guide to Digital Photography - by Adrian Davies... For over 150 years, the photographic process remained virtually unchanged-but now, the digital revolution has come. Are you up to date...or behind the times? Magnificent examples from digital photographers will help you understand how the new electronic media work and how to grasp all their creative possibilities. The key: the cycle of shoot, enhance, and share. Shooting involves everything about how the image is captured, from camera, lenses, and equipment to scanning and composition. Enhance that picture by altering its brightness and contrast, enriching the color, and improving its clarity and depth. Retouch, tone, and colorize monochrome images, and use layered montage techniques to add extra interest. Try special effects that make photos look like watercolors or turn them into panoramas. Once you've got that perfect picture, share it with others: print it, add text, put it on the net. You'll find everything a beginner needs to become knowledgeable and inspired! - Paperback: 128 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.39 x 8.70 x 7.48; Publisher: Sterling Publications; (August 2002) Price: $15.37 Design Your Own Home Page - by Molly Holzschlag - You saw our "Editor's Choice" by Molly called Integrated Web Design, well, her "DYO" (or, "design your own") takes a slightly different approach to training combining some of the most inspired home pages on the internet with such techniques and developments as BLOGGING, and independent publishing.
