Digital Calligraphy takes calligraphy into the digital age, demonstrating how to capture the elegance and fluidity of this beloved art on to the computer screen. Each part of this original and innovative guide provides a logical progression from traditional calligraphy techniques to its digital processes and applications. In Part 1, readers will find an introduction to basic calligraphic techniques and design principles. Part 2 deals specifically with digital calligraphy, introducing basic concepts such as vectors, bitmaps, and software tools. Part 3 features important information on the myriad applications of digital calligraphy and provides step-by-step instructions for such specific techniques as adding a swash or flourish to a letter. And in Part 4, readers will find a dazzling, full-color gallery of digital work from renowned calligraphers around the world. These extraordinary examples range from traditional written calligraphy that was scanned and then modified through art software, to works from artists who never touched paper during the creation of their art. Finally, Digital Calligraphy includes dozens of ready-to-use formats and templates for creating postcards, invitations, stationery, and flyers; invaluable advice on choosing hardware and software; plus much more! |
