"Today, designers have as much say about the final outcome of a photographic image as the photographer. Together, they are raising photography in graphic design to an entirely new level of art form. Photo-imaging software allows designers and photographers to tweak images to the nth degree. With an infinite variety of filters, photos can now be pixilated, masked, reversed, and manipulated, in ways never dreamed possible." "In this collection of photography in graphic design, you will see everything from white type on a white background to entire photographic images that have been blurred save for one small area." "Photography and its use in design have traveled a long road since the days of daguerreotypes, which, for all of their inventiveness at the time, look overly simplistic by today's standards. Perhaps that explains the resurgence in popularity of early photographic art forms as highly valued collectibles - they provide a tangible link to the past that reminds us of how far photography has come and how much further it can be taken."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
