About the bookFurthermore the book uses in depth explanations to let you understand the concept behind Photoshop design topics such as photorealism, pixel art, cartoon and comic art, icons, emoticons, silhouette and wireframe illustration and much more. The design of the book itself is pretty good, as it uses a clear font and overall good graphics. Unlike some other books the book allows you to browse trough the chapters and zoom in when you need more detailed information. The only thing missing is the tips/tricks and topics in the sidebars of the book as these are left blank.
Who should buy this book?
If you have the basic designer skill and if you aspire to be a professional designer , this book will enable you to improve your artwork and it will help you become a better designer. However if you plan to upgrade to the soon to be released Photoshop CS 2 software package you might want to wait for an update of the book.
