PUBLISHED WORKS

SURFACES: VISUAL RESEARCH FOR ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, AND DESIGNERS
First in the series, offers over 1,200 outstanding, vibrantly colorful visual images of surface textures –wood, stone, marble, brick, plaster, stucco, aggregates, metal, tile, and glass – ready to be used in architectural, scenic or film designs, presentations, or comps, as backgrounds or for general visual information. Photographed by a designer for designers, these pictures show specific materials and how they change with time, weather, wear, and different lighting. Interviews with eight design professors provide practical advice on how they approach visual research, and a comprehensive glossary of visual and technical terms offers a vocabulary for professional communication. CD-ROM included.
