Information Packed, with Extensive Illustrations of Technique

This book is loaded with hundreds of drawings and photos that show in detail how to create visually effective and convincing artwork. The first section covers pen-lettered alphabet and construction of san-serif and roman lettering. The second section demonstrates hand-created layout techniques, principles of graphic reproduction, and typography. Section Three gives a detailed explanation of methods of basic printmaking from monoprinting and relief printing to linocutting, screenprinting, and lithography. The last section of the book covers modelmaking. Although the book is intended primarily for architects, graphic designers, and artists, I found the model-making section to be an invaluable resource in teaching my stage design students how to create high-quality models for theatrical sets. Though computer technology has replaced many previously hand-created techniques, a beautifully executed 3-dimensional model that you can walk around, peer through, and demonstrate in real-life still inspires a special awe, synergy, and universal communication in an audience of viewers or production staff. The model-making section covers in-depth techniques for building a sturdy base, modeling the terrain and creating contours in it, sculpting surfaces, rendering the terrain with realistic finishes, using plaster of paris and papier mache, paper-folding and assembly techniques, use of card and balsa wood, modeling of trees and shrubbery, simulation of people, automobiles, and water, textured finishes, lighting techniques, and use of photos. I highly recommend this book to those who work with these techniques.
