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. 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.
