Summary

Foundations of Digital Art and Design with the Adobe Creative Cloud integrates lessons in Bauhaus-inspired design principles and theories with histories and examples of digital art and practical techniques based on Adobe Creative Cloud’s 2019 release.

In this full-color guide, renowned media artist and educator xtine burrough brings together foundational coverage of bits, pixels, and vectors; digital photography; digital manipulation and free fair use; typography and motion; design for the web; and effective professional work habits.

burroughs’ section introductions emphasize art and design concepts, and her chapter exercises explain the craft of design, encompassing Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver, and many other Adobe tools. Throughout, she offers practical insight into proven
design, workflow, and prototyping processes, and showcases mobile app integration with Adobe Creative Cloud.

Extensively revised to reflect Adobe CC enhancements and instructor feedback, this edition adds significant coverage of motion and After Effects, Adobe XD prototyping, Lightroom, Adobe mobile design apps, and new features throughout Adobe’s suite. Hundreds of screenshots, exercises, and references have been updated, and additional content is available online.

Foundations of Digital Art and Design with the Adobe Creative Cloud follows burroughs’ co-authored Digital Foundations and Visual Communication on the Web. All three books synthesize fundamental design principles with core Adobe CC techniques, transforming software training into a powerful design learning experience.
