Synopsis
Calligraphy is traditionlly a pen-to-paper craft but in this digital age even the fluidity of the pen can be replicated on a computer. Whether you are a traditional calligrapher who wants to know what digital has to offer, or someone familiar with computers who would like to create their own display lettering, this book will introduce you to the techniques of ink-free calligraphy. Information is presented in four sections. The first introduces the principles of calligraphy - its history, techniques and design; section two provides guidance on hardware and software programs, describing the basic tools and methods of digital calligraphy; the third section features step-by-step instructions to improve skills and develop personal style; finally, there is a gallery of calligraphic art, which shows examples from top designers to provide inspiration and ideas.

Reviews
If the thought of calligraphy conjures up images of robed monks in a monastery, Thomson's Digital Calligraphy will change all that. Though traditionally a quill- or pen-to-paper art, today's ink-free technology allows traditional calligraphers to explore digital fluidity and technogeeks to delve into creating and customizing stunning display fonts. Vector-based software allows lettering designers to develop ideas from paper, then scan and manipulate them via computer, or by electronically generating forms from scratch. By establishing the calligraphic basics of spacing, layout, design, alignment and grids, then progressing step-by-step to addressing digital concerns such as resolution, scale, and overlays, this exceptional guide enables users to create drop shadows, bitmap effects, textures, and more.
