Rebecca WilsonStep-by-Step Graphics How ...
The current trend in graphics magazines is the how-to genre. Two have successfully entered the marketplace this year, indicating a growing hunger for nitty-gritty studio tips on tools and techniques.
Step-by-Step Graphics is a very good entry-level introduction, offering solid advice on such basics as copy-fitting, trouble-shooting the airbrush, or simple techniques for adding color to black-and-white line art. The emphasis is on the creative process rather than the finished result, with lots of large, clear photos showing each stage of a project. Readers are encouraged to participate by sharing short cuts and case studies of their own. Though a bit pricey at $7.50 a copy, the information is often worth it.
