Product Description: Vector Graphics and Illustration turns the spotlight on this instantly recognizable and popular illustrative technique. This book is a highly illustrated but practical “how to” manual that looks at the creative possibilities offered by software such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW. It makes a feature of the exemplary illustration work being created around the world, and especially in countries with an emerging graphic design scene, including Malaysia, Brazil, and India.
Vector Graphics and Illustration explores the advantages of vector work. Memory-efficient, they are the preferred style for email/web applications and useful in minimal but high-impact work, such as information graphics, logos, chraracters, technical drawings, graphic novels, and graphics for clothing. This book taps into a vibrant and distinctive creative area that is under-represented outside software manuals and specialist magazines.
