Designers do far more than visualize new products they are called upon to imagine a future and bring it to life through visuals Whether such futures begin as elaborate maps and diagrams of emerging technology or speculative world building the contemporary designer s skill set must cover the entire spectrum from abstract to representational and from low fidelity to high fidelity visualizations The advent of tablet based sketching VR sketching and hybrids bring new and more intuitive ways of working But confidence in manipulating lines curves and surfaces in space whether flat computer assisted or virtual will remain a coveted skill regardless of where technology leads In this practical guide to both hand and computer drawn design essential principles are outlined so that readers will learn to think in 3D and build complex design ideas that are structurally sound and visually clear Specially created sketches and computer models show how to develop rough sketches into finished illustrations while also explaining how to select the right type of representation for the right purpose This revised edition contains new material on sketching principles working across platforms and hybrid workflows Also new to this edition coverage of UX UI design fo

What was Japan like in 1853, when this portrait was started by Utagawa Hiroshige with one print from each of the 69 provinces. It is an outstanding picture book from just before photography. Hiroshige travelled the Tokaido road to participate in an important procession in Kyoto in 1832 and published his 53 Stations of the Tokaido (Hoeido) which was the most popular print series ever made in Japan, see the authors ISBN ES 978-8-413-731-469. It was even more popular than Hokusais series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which had been recently published and which had influenced Hiroshige tremendously ISBN ES 978-8-411-744-935. The Famous Views from the Sixty-Odd Provinces contains some of Hiroshiges most beloved prints and he again uses the horizontal format he pioneered for landscape prints.

Joaquín Sorolla (born in Valencia 1863 - died in Cercedilla 1923) is one of the most successful Spanish painters ever. He was a genius in capturing the essence of the scene and the soul of the person he was painting. Sorolla painted a large number of portraits, even though it is said he didnt like doing them. For doing something he detested he certainly did it magnificently. In this volume some of the portraits from his formative period 1863 -1888 as well as his consolidation period 1889 -1899 are presented. Sorolla lived while photography was being invented and popularized. Her was fortunate that the nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie still liked to have their portraits painted. He also painted many Spanish painters, writers and politicians and his portraits are a great introduction to Spanish society and politics of the day as well as Spanish history.

Dating from the 1850s to the First World War, the Arts and Crafts Movement was an international phenomenon of enormous scope and influence. It encompassed everything from architecture to town planning, metalwork and embroidery, in places as diverse as California and Budapest. Born of thinkers and practitioners in Victorian England its ideological currents reflect the era's most pressing social, political and artistic concerns. In this book Rosalind Blakesley explores the common ideas that give cohesion to a movement of otherwise bewildering breadth and stylistic heterogeneity. At the origins of the movement was a reaction against industrialization, the long-standing division between traditional crafts and Fine Art and the over-elaborate ornamentation which disguised an object or building's true 'function'.Early British Arts and Crafts practitioners campaigned for a revival of old craft techniques, for the elevation of the applied arts and for 'honesty' in design, ideas that were picked up and developed across Europe and the United States, with national variants quickly emerging. Germany, for example, recognized the potential of industrial techniques and experimented with standardization in design; in Finland, then annexed to Russia, Arts and Crafts was allied to the search for self-expression and a national style in art. Examining both acknowledged Arts and Crafts centres and lesser-known communities, Rosalind Blakesley concludes her authoritative and accessible survey with an evaluation of the Movement's significance in the twenty-first century.

Una historia de la pintura a través de los pigmentos. ¿Cómo encuentran los pintores nuevas tonalidades y de qué manera infuyen estas en sus obras? Desde la austera paleta de los antiguos griegos hasta la gloriosa profusion del arte renacentista y la quimica y el uso artistico del color han existido siempre en una simbiotica relacion que ha determinado sus respectivas evoluciones. La historia de la pintura ha estado en gran parte infuida por la disponibilidad o no de determinados pigmentos, y los descubrimientos cientifcos se han refejado directamente en la paleta del artista.
