Adobe Graphic Design Portfolio-Builder Includes
Online Advice Component
New York, NY ø August 8, 2005 -- Sessions
Online School of Design announced today a new publishing
imprint, Studio Sessions™, consisting of books
and magazines that offer professional advice on a variety
of design project topics. Readers of these titles can
also complete exercises at the end of each chapter and
submit them to Sessions' online learning environment
( http://www.studiosessions.net
) for feedback from Sessions instructors.
The first book in this category, Graphic Design Portfolio-Builder:
Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator Projects (0-321-33658-5),
is published by Peachpit Press.
"A book that can stand alone, or help readers
obtain direct feedback from industry-leading designers,
has never been published before," stated Doris
Granatowski, Sessions CEO. "It's a natural extension
of both the Sessions.edu educational model and our objective
of preparing design professionals. We have already transformed
the way creative people learn design skills online through
Sessions.edu Online
School of Design. We are now excited to expand that
educational model into the publishing world with the
introduction of Studio Sessions™."
The first title to focus on building a design portfolio,
Graphic Design Portfolio-Builder: Adobe Photoshop and
Adobe Illustrator Projects fills a gap in designers'
bookshelves. Each chapter contains a lecture and project
on a graphic design topic-from logo design to magazine
layout. After a brief intro to the world of graphic
design, Sessions instructors provide quick "refresher
course" chapters on the two design applications.
Then, armed with Photoshop and Illustrator basics, readers
tackle a series of projects involving logo design, magazine
layouts, illustrations, poster design, digital imaging,
book cover design, packaging design and more.
Graphic Design Portfolio-Builder: Adobe Photoshop and
Adobe Illustrator Projects (ISBN 0-321-33658-5) can
be ordered at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble (www.bn.com),
Borders.com, or from any local bookstore.
