Basics Illustration: Text and Image (ENG)

The second book in the successful Basics Illustration series looks to the history of illustration for inspiration – from medieval manuscripts and hieroglyphics to the contemporary. It also examines the production of artefacts, for example artists’ books, graphic novels, posters, and handmade typography, stencils, graffiti, and fonts designed by illustrators. Text and Image looks at how to manipulate text as though it were an image and how to interpret and use the elements together.
