Digital Innovation

This book is a portfolio collecting the work of thirty one digital artists. There are cover to cover illustrations created for advertising, graphic design, and the web. The brief commentary that accompanies the images is interesting and sometimes illuminating. The various graphic design programs that were used for each illustration or project are also listed. Although, the book is aimed toward graphic designers or fine artists expanding into new media, it is a wonderful source of inspiration for web designers. Keep in mind that it is not at all technically useful. There are no instructions or descriptions on how to create the kinds of images in this book. The work is meant simply to be admired and appreciated. It is beautifully designed with a clever layout and typography. The sharp clear images are well presented in gorgeous full color, and the book has a superior binding.Pixel Perfect is sectioned into categories for advertising, editorial, exploratory, web design, and a section for books, calendars, and music media. The exploratory section is for experimental and personal work, fine arts, and self promotion. I would happily purchase an entire book on the artists presented in this section. The editorial selection contains ideas for brochures, font creation, greeting cards, and magazine covers. The web design section is small and features the work of such cutting edge designers as Mark Allen, Todd Purgason, and Gustavo Machado. Jonothan Caponi, Katherine Streeter, Alessandro Bavari, Ilya Rozhdestvensky, and Michael Morganstern are among the many illustrators featured throughout the book. Editors Kathleen Zeigler and Nick Greco hold the annual 3Dimensional Images Award Show and are the creators of Dimensional Illustrators, Inc. As a result, they have access to a wide variety of talented media artists and have put together a high quality selection of their work.
