Publisher Comments:

Computers are in every design professional's studio and every design classroom. Visual Design on the Computer introduces a new visual language to tackle basic design principles. It presents a structured course for self-teaching on the computer in fifteen sessions, helps instructors plan computer-based courses, and provides ideas and tips for seasoned designers.

Book News Annotation:

This text provides a structured course for classroom or self-teaching in 15 sessions. Each chapter introduces a new aspect or concept in visual design, with related technical requirements, and presents a set of exercises to guide students through the creation of different design elements. Coverage encompasses draw and paint programs, fonts, image-editing, scanning, and printing. There are examples and illustrations on every page, most in b&w but some in color. Software and hardware requirements are basic, and include a Macintosh or PC, a color printer, a scanner, and drawing and image-editing programs. Wucius Wong is author of four textbooks on design. He has taught at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Benjamin Wong has taught at colleges in the New York metropolitan area. He works as an architect and designer in Hong Kong.

Synopsis:

The computer is in every design professional's studio and in every design classroom, the primary tool for those entering the field and for old hands alike. Visual Design on the Computer is designed for those who are seeking to learn the basics of two-dimensional design on the computer. The book approaches design from the computer perspective, and introduces a new visual language to tackle all basic design principles, without favoring any particular computer system or software. It covers techniques and methods commonly used in computer graphics, a review of draw and paint programs, as well as scanning, image-editing, and printing; the new edition includes color gradients, rasterization, the use of imported images, and basic color theory.
