Media Reviews

'An excellent and contemporary survey of the genre.' Mark Owen, Kingston College, UK. 'Clear, concise, well illustrated and appropriate for an introduction to the subject.' Andrew Hepburn, Northwest Regional College, UK. 'I think it will fill in the gaps in my students' knowledge. It is good to see a general book that is not software specific.' Tom Ingham, Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts, UK. 'Bite size information, easy to digest and with great examples. Glossary and timeline at the back of the book was very useful ... Images are well presented, text is easily read.'Ti Majekodunmi, Bromley College, UK. 'I think the book is a work of art on its own. The graphic layout is really something.' Jennifer Hardacker, Pacific University, USA.
