In this book readers find the tools and the inspiration to take on the applications and beat them. Photoshop is the application of choice, with Illustrator being employed for its vector graphics... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I bought this book pretty much to get some inspiration and ideas. While it does not showcase a hell of a lot of art like I had wished it would, it's still a good read if you want to see the creative and technical process that each of the four designes go through to produce an image. The tutorials are well set out and assume you know your way around photoshop and illustrator, which was ok for me. It's not the sort of book you want to get if your interested in learning photshop or illustrator, but for anyone who has a working knowlage of the programs it's cool to see how these guys get their final results.Personally I think there could have been a bit more art/design work showcased and some other designer in place of Nick Higgens who cant seem to accept that the other designer sometimes include elements in their images just because, it looks good, but overall it's a solid effort.
