This book is not for the beginner, but if you want to improve your editing skills I don't think you will find better. The included DVD is worth the money on its own. Thoroughly recommended.

Jewellery Making: A Complete Course for Beginners

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Art- Architecture and Photography
by: Jinks McGrath

October 01, 2007
This isn't so much a book as a labour of love. Beautifully presented, extremely clear photographs, high quality paper. It remains to be seen whether it can teach me how to make jewellery - if it can't that'll be down to me - but in any case it is a lovely book to own.

Metric Handbook: Planning and Design Data (3rd Edition)

Here is an area where the old school of design still lingers, the book is very suitable for specific tasks but really needs improving on. Having said that I threw away my copy of Charlotte Baden-Powell's book as soon as I got this - because even this tome is much more useable than hers.

This Is Modern Art

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Art- Architecture and Photography
by: Matthew Collings

July 06, 2000
I was so exhilarated by Collings' Channel 4 mini-series "This is civilisation" that I had to search the web to find something similar in book form. I didn't, but came across This is modern art, with its amazon.co.uk collection of high ratings, which convinced me to take the plunge. I don't know, this may be a personal issue, but I think I can generally appreciate good writting, even when it's not to my taste. This book, however, I found confusedly written, with no flow and no inspiration. As I say, it may be just me, or it may be that Collings comes across better on tv. Nonetheless, I thought it healthy to add my view as a healthcheck on the total.

Artists' Journal and Sketchbooks: Exploring and Creating Personal Pages

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Art- Architecture and Photography
by: Lynne Perrella

March 02, 2007
Socrates said "Know thyself" and artistic journaling is one approach towards personal discovery. "Artists' Journal and Sketchbooks: Exploring and Creating Personal Pages" gives non-artists tips on how to begin creative and self-revelatory journaling.
Diaries are not just about words and Perrella encourages the use of paper that's painted, glued, stitched, scratched, bleached and in any other way manipulated. Standardization is out and replaced by the act of altering what's already around to make something new as women, the true bricoleurs, often do.
From the examples given of various artists' journals comes the confirmation that women are generally the family historians documenting via foto albums, scrapbooks, journals and keepsakes. ... Read More:

Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Art- Architecture and Photography

What a shame Aperture 2 only works on a Mac platform. Those PC users are missing out on a great bit of software and a great instructional book.

Having Aperture 2 is great as it is a powerful bit of software. I have reviewed it here and I like it. but you need this book to get the most out of the software.

The book is quite expensive but it is great value as it covers most everything you need to learn the programme. Lets be frank, when you buy software its ususal to find how to get the basics out of it and in real terms we only use 10% of the power of the software. What a waste. If you read this book then you are gonna be nearer 99%. I always believe that no one but the writers can get 100% out of this type of software.
