The ability to work effectively with photographs is a vital skill for designers working on magazines, books, brochures, posters and packaging. This book covers every aspect of the graphic designer's work with photographs, showing how techniques including cropping and photo-treatments can transform a mediocre photograph into an arresting image. The reader is also shown how effects can be eye-catching but also easily overdone. Designers are often confronted with a choice of images and the book seeks to guide the designer to the right choice.
