Imagery in Graphic Design

This book treats images as a complement to graphic design. Images are everywhere, from cinema posters to perfume bottles. Even though images have the power to produce information and reactions, what they mean depends on how the designer uses them. The text focuses on this topic. In the book's six main sections—Basic Information, Techniques, What Do Images Tell Us?, The Use of Images, Images in Practice, and Freehand Drawing—many image creation methods are introduced, from illustrations to iconography and computer interventions. The book provides the designer with information and tools on how to use images effectively. The book is suitable for students studying image, graphic design, and related fields to benefit from in later stages. The contemporary and traditional concepts, explained in detail in the first chapter, are a clue as to how many disciplines, besides graphic design, are concerned with the image.
