Media Reviews
Praise for Kit Laybourne's previous book, The Animation Book: I read one chapter and then went and made a little film with my seven-year-old son. When he finally saw the thing moving and come to life, he giggled for a solid half hour. I love this book. --Peter Hastings, writer/producer of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain and creator of Disney's One Saturday Morning. This is a great book! The Animation Book is the perfect starter kit for anyone interested in entering the animation business or learning about the art of animation. -- Terry Thoren, CEO/President, Klasky Csupo Inc. The Animation Book is a classic. If you can afford to buy only one book on animation, this is the one to buy--it has it all. --Gunnar Wille, head of the animation department, The National Film School of Denmark Kit Laybourne is a leading voice in new media; this book brings his knowledge and insight to everyone. -Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum; author, Thinking with Type and Graphic Design: The New Basics In a world of customization and social networking, Kit Laybourne defines a new preoccupation: 'personal media.' This is a digital 'do-it-yourself' for all of us with a computer, a camera, and a desire to do more. -Paul Warwick Thompson, director, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum Kit Laybourne has created a vital and fun-reading 'do it yourself' guide to communicating in the twenty-first century, with valuable insights, design tips, and creative activities for nondesigners (i.e., most of us). -Colleen Macklin, associate professor and former chair, Communication Design & Technology Department, Parsons The New School For Design At last, a book that humanizes the technologies we use to tell stories. With a calm bedside manner, Laybourne empowers anyone inclined to self-expression to champion their voice, vision, and talent. -Chee Pearlman, principle, Chee Company and former editor in chief, I.D.
