Wiley Press Release

Gone Wild is the new series of full-color how-to books for design professionals and enthusiasts.  The series is designed to give those with basic graphic design skills the tools they need to create innovative, mind-blowing visual effects.  Each book provides lively, step-by-step instructions for creating amazing art using a particular software program.  The lavish illustrations and minimal text allow designers to dive into the fun stuff without a lot of dry explanations or theory.  Tips and suggestions found throughout the books will jump-start readers’ imaginations and have them creating spectacular effects in no time.

The first book in the series, ADOBEÒ ILLUSTRATORÒ CS2 GONE WILD (0-7645-9859-7; November 2005; $34.99), uses the leading vector graphics creation software to create DNA-like strands of material, Escher-like patterns, spectacular car body effects, warped-out buildings, surreal complex shadowing, jewels with semi-transparent layers, liquid type, and much more.

PHOTOSHOPÒ CS2 GONE WILD (0-7645-9813-9; November 2005; $34.99) brings new meaning to photo manipulation.  With this book, readers will discover how to morph a rhino’s face onto a woman, dress a wolf in sheepskin, turn a photo into neon art, submerge a cityscape beneath the sea, and age a young person into a wrinkled senior citizen.

PHOTOSHOPÒ ELEMENTS 4 GONE WILD (0-7645-9991-7; March 2006; $34.99) demonstrates the astonishing effects that can be created without the full version of Photoshop.  Readers can change a family member into an action figure, blend the faces of two people, put their own portrait on a dollar bill, or turn a favorite photo into a magazine cover with the newest version of this wildly popular image editing software.
