Photoshop by Design is a remarkably clear and concise book. It demonstrates a number of solid techniques designed to get novice users familiar with the program. With its approachable design and tone, this comparatively short book features 24 short and simple-to-grasp tutorials spread out over three chapters. The lessons are easy to follow, and clear graphical elements and screen shots complement the text. Each tutorial focuses on a different aspect of using paths, gradients, filters, and so on. As a whole, the tutorials are geared at designing characters and using Photoshop in a very "illustrative" manner. Many of the sample illustrations are reminiscent of images in a children's book. But the book contains no technical information for using Photoshop (such as how to create Web design or photorealistic effects). Nor does it explain how to create images for a variety of media. But the tutorials show you techniques that can be widely applied for production purposes, and if you are a beginning Photoshop user interested in character illustration, the book will work well for you. --Mike Caputo

Easy and to the point October 21, 2000

I have about half a dozen books on Photoshop and this is the "The best" book. I looked many books for interface designing, but found none, which appealed to me. Even there is only one example kind of interface (TV Example), but it covered well. This could have even batter value if the author could have explained why he is using this technique. He used many filters, but was hard for me to find out why. Overall it is an excellent book.

This is by far one of the best Photoshop books I own. For anyone who wants to get into Photoshop as a design medium, I highly recommend this. One look at the cover and you might think it's for children, but don't! You'll pick up lots of cool ideas with how-to's! Well worth the price.

This book is great for those of us who don't have time to lookup exactly how to do one simple thing in Photoshop. It allows visual learners to go through and actually use different Photoshop concepts, which is how I learn best. After going through the first 2 exercises I was able to create killer graphics in Photoshop which two hours earlier would have been impossible for me to do. Great book easy to read and follow! Buy it today! I'm in the process of redoing my webpage using photoshop graphics skillz I got from the book...
 Easy-to-follow to make perfect Japanese anime-style graphics November 19, 1999

A great book for beginners to intermediate CG designers. It really opened up the various functions of Photoshop to me and the easy-to-follow steps give a perfect introduction to the Japanese style of CG art.
