ART BOOK REVIEW: Digital Expressions - Susan Tuttle

BOOK BLURB:

Digital Expressions guides the mixed-media artist through 25 stepped-out digital projects created with Adobe Photoshop Elements. Projects like manipulating single photos, collage on a digital canvas, and digital illustration will inspire readers to tackle all kinds of digital mixed-media projects using stock photography, custom brushes, textured backgrounds and their own digital photos. A team of talented contributing artists further illustrates the techniques in action. Plus, a bonus CD includes more than 25 digital design elements for readers to use in their own projects.


REVIEW:

As a huge user of photoshop, its always great to see a title that deals exclusively with this medium. It teaches a good solid background for the programme concerned and above all else will definitely teach the reader a number of useful skills from the blend through to the creation of original art. Easy to follow, explained very clearly and with easy to utilise instructions it will become a manual that you’ll reach for to learn lessons as well as to find some inspiration time and again.
