Jim Krause has worked as a designer in the Pacific Northwest since the 1980s. He has produced award-winning work for clients large and small, including Microsoft, McDonald's, Kodak, Cingular Wireless, Washington Apples, Levi Strauss, Paccar/Kenworth, and Seattle Public Schools. Jim Krause has written over 15 books on design, creativity, and digital photography. His books are widely popular and are on sale around the world. Several have been translated into multiple languages. Krause's latest books are Color Index XL, Lessons in Typography, Visual Design and Color For Designers. When Jim isn't working on books, he can usually be found riding or racing either a motorcycle or a bicycle, hiking, reading, roasting coffee beans in his back yard, drinking espresso, or doing an art project of some kind or another.
This is a superb book for photographers and image-editors alike. I am a rabid fan of Jim Krause; I own several of his books and he has a wonderful, imaginative eye, he sees things in a truly unique and creative fashion. The book works through several exercises whose images you can download and his explanations of the procedures is thorough and interesting. Not your average photography book, nor your average software manual - it is a visual treat and chock-full of idea triggers.
