The Digital Designer's Jargon Buster by Alastair Campbell
In a remarkably short space of time, advances in technology have brought about a revolution in design practices and, with them, terminology. The Digital Designer's Jargon Buster helps you make sense of this rapidly changing world, whether you're a designer or working in a related field, such as printing, production, desktop publishing or editing. This comprehensive illustrated dictionary of design terms covers everything from traditional typesetting and prepress to the latest digital media, including the Web, 3D and animation, as well as definitions for the most-popular software menus and commands. With more than 5,000 succinct entries arranged in alphabetical order together with scores of colourful and helpful diagrams and illustrations, The Digital Designer's Jargon Buster is the essential, one-stop reference for every design student and professional.
Alastair Campbell cofounded the design group QED, and later, as creative director of one of the world's largest producers of illustrated books, he produced award-winning titles on art and design. He has lectured extensively on design, typography and illustration, and was external examiner of graphic design at Middlesex University. In 1996 he received a MacUser magazine Eddy Award for his resource Mountain High Maps. He is author of The Graphic Designer's Handbook and The MacDesigner's Handbook.
