"Creating Photomontages with Photoshop: A Designer's Notebook": The Magic of Digital Artists Revealed
Sebastopol, CA--Photomontages are multiple images artfully combined. When
joined together, they assume a new and more complex definition that, if
done well, is both believable and aesthetically thrilling. Imagine fresh
laundry taking flight from a clothes dryer, a woman posed inside a perfume
bottle, or a triptych that shows the play of light and shadow over the
facade of a building at different times during the day. In Creating
Photomontages with Photoshop: A Designer's Notebook (Rodarmor, O'Reilly,
US $24.95) well-known French artists reveal the techniques used in
creating these and other projects.
Translated from French into English for the first time, this lavish
collection of groundbreaking digital creations is a visual smorgasbord for
digital imaging professionals, graphic artists, photographers, and anyone
involved in the creation of digital images or animations. But the book
provides more than a full-color feast for the eyes; it gives
intermediate-to-advanced Photoshop users invaluable guidance through all
aspects of photomontage creation. From the genesis of each project
(including sources of inspiration, assignment specifications, working with
an art director) to its practical execution (photo shoot, retouching
steps, special effects), the authors provide step-by-step instructions on
the entire process.
The stunning digital photomontages in Creating Photomontages with
Photoshop: A Designer's Notebook offer a challenging and beautiful
glimpse into a vibrant culture known for pushing the limits of imagination
with photography, graphics, and art. Filled with splendor, energy, and
creative risks, the images will change the way you see and perform your
own work. This book will take you to the heart of what's possible with
photomontage and digital technology through Photoshop. It is suitable for
your coffee table or your desktop--wherever you most thrive on creative
inspiration.
Creating Photomontages with Photoshop: A Designer's Notebook is the
third release in O'Reilly's new Designer's Notebook series--a series
designed to inspire and instruct professionals who work with digital
images. The first two books in the series are Photo Retouching with
Photoshop: A Designer's Notebook and Illustrations with Photoshop: A
Designer's Notebook.
