Judy A. Juracek's ARCHITECTURAL SURFACES: DETAILS FOR ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS  comes with a cd-rom and provides students and professional practitioners alike with a new addition to the 'Surfaces' series. Hundreds of different architectural features are portrayed in well over a thousand color photos which capture details and provide a subject organization for quick, easy reference.

Bar none.  I use my PC primarily for photography (Lightroom and Photoshop), and the wide gamut is most appreciated.  The large working area and accurate colors and gamma are a real treat to work with, and it goes a long way toward completing a calibrated color workflow.  I would definitely buy this again.

I love color analysis books and this one was an interesting read for anyone seeking advice on looking more youthful from middle age and upward.  Changing your clothing and makeup color palette to coordinate with the way you look right now and not what you were color analyzed 30 years ago makes sense. There are options to look more youthful when your eye color, skin color and hair fades. If you choose to dye your hair, let it go gray or have highlights and lowlights you should change to a different color palette to coordinate. The color palettes consist of light, deep, warm, clear, cool and soft.  The section on body type and clothing selection was helpful. I didn't find the book excellent though due to the pictures of the outdated and matronly clothing worn by the models. Part of looking younger is classic, contemporary clothing.

I love how every keystroke is precise. The mechanical switch makes all the difference in games. fully customizable lights or you can turn it off. Some games like Doom also gives a themed light profile.

Rather than a fully technical journey through design and fashion, the book welcomely provides a photo visual array of men's fashion throughout this decade.  Well known actors and faces are used as photo references, and the book follows the evolution of style from 1900 to the present.  I like the overall look and vintage photos, but I do not like that it is only broken into two main sections, 1900-1939 and 1940 onward.  Having a breakdown by decades would have been much easier, especially for those wanting to quickly flip to a certain period and style.  Maybe that was their point in doing it this way, to make sure the reader gets an overall history and not focuses simply on 70's bell bottoms or their favorite 80's leisure suit.  If you're fully into fashion or a designer this may be a good read from start to finish, but to attract more casual readers/buyers, a decade breakdown would have been the way to go.

This book begins with a presentation of 96 colors in a color wheel and then explores color combinations based on these 96 colors, plus grey which is added at the end.

The colors are divided in 22 groupings, according to the effect the colors would have: powerful, rich, romantic, vital, earthy, friendly, soft, welcoming, moving, elegant, fresh, traditional, refreshing, tropical, classic, dependable, calm, regal, magical, energetic, subdued, and professional.

Each grouping is represented with a particular color, containing a brief description of that color and its effect, and followed by color combinations which are sorted into monochromatic, primary, complimentary, analogous, split complimentary, split, clash, and neutral.  These color combinationas are provided in two formats - one that would remain in the book and another one consisting out of swatches, which can be taken out of the book.

At the end of the book are given CMYK values of 96 colors, plus 10 consisting of white, black and the nuances of grey.

All in all, the book is very well organized.

Well worth the price and very user friendly. The results look amazing (for both photo and video) and I couldn't be more satisfied.

What a great collection of sweaters, jackets, and capes with contemporary styling.  The designs are interesting and will be noticed when made and worn.  This is a keeper!

This book features some great styling and detailing that you won't find anywhere else. I love how the bag on the front cover turned out (see photos, mine is the linen.) But the directions were NOT the easiest to follow, so it took a long time. There were a few steps that seemed more difficult than they needed to be, I followed my shortcuts and it turned out fine. The diagrams had partial instructions, and little numbers everywhere that I could not figure out (was it seam allowance? sometimes ....), and the rest of the steps were on another page. Maybe it was just me, but I have made many bags and I found the instructions really annoying and slow. That said, I'd try another pattern in this book b/c the styles look great!

Jean Frost is a well-known jacket designer and her first book&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Jean-Frost-Jackets-Fabric-Fit-and-Finish-for-Today-s-Knits/dp/1893762157/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Jean Frost Jackets: Fabric, Fit, and Finish for Today's Knits</a>&nbsp;"is a source of fabric stitches, finishing details and 21 classic designer-inspired styles".  Her newest book&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Custom-Knit-Jackets-Casual-to-Couture/dp/193306420X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Custom Knit Jackets: Casual to Couture</a>, published by Knitter's Press, is a welcome addition to my knitting library.  It consists of a section of '7 Essential Steps to a Custom Knit Jacket', 'The Basic Jacket in 10 Sizes and 4 gauges', 'The Jackets', 'Details and Lining', and 'Resources'.

The first section provides all the information that the knitter needs in order to custom design a jacket that fits to a tee.  There are graphs, measurements, and methods included.  The second section shows the knitter how to design a basic jacket with a round or v-neck in four gauges and ten standard sizes and how to assemble the final product.

Then comes the section on patterns themselves.  There is something here for everyone.  My favorites are Coco, a 'classic Chanel'.  It has pockets, split cuffs, buttons, and interesting fabric.  It is  knit with medium weight yarn on a size 7 U.S. needle.  Sizing is for 36" to 55 1/2".  In other words, the tiniest and the larger person ca be fit into this jacket.

I love the 'String of Pearls' Jacket knit in two colors.  The one shown is in charcoal and red, knit with a U.S. 6 needle.  It has one snap in the middle and looks classic.

'Le Smoking' jacket is beautiful, knit in a plum wine color.  It has a collar and is "a bow to Yves Saint Laurent, inspired by the jacket that secured his place in fashion".  It has a v-neck lengthened to the waistline, along with the collar.

The 'Basketweave' is the type of jacket I could wear every day.  It is both 'elegant and practical' with a stand-up collar, knit with a slip-stitch.  It is knit with medium weight yarn and is for the intermediate knitter.

The 'Leaf Jacket' has 'mirrored panels of leaves and bobble buttons' as embellishment.  The jacket is elegant and perfect for night-time wear.  Ir is for intermediate knitters and utilizes medium weight yarn and U.S. 8 needles.

The 'Swing Lace' jacket is one of my favorites.  It has a 'moderate swing' and the fabric is knit with a lace pattern.  The jacket can be worn in summer and would make a wonderful evening jacket all year long.  It is for intermediate knitters and calls for light weight yarn knit with size U.S. 4 needles.

There is something for everyone in this book.  The patterns are all for the intermediate or advanced knitter but would be an inspiration for beginning knitters.  The photographs are great and the instructions are clear.  I just love this book.

This book and CD come with a library packed with presets for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 and 3. You will find over 500 layer styles and effects, dozens of textures and shapes, lots of media brushes and 40+ gradients. And they are all professional quality. The presets are divided into three major categories; styles for photos, styles for type and graphics, and web button styles. There are also general presets such as repeatable textures and patterns, shadows and embossing, ghost (semi-transparent) backgrounds and overlays.

The book that comes with the CD teaches you how to use the presets and also sparks your creativity with a full color gallery of examples. The author, Jack Davis, starts with a One-Click WOW Quick Start tutorial that helps you to install and explore the goodies on the CD. His next few sections introduce you to Photoshop Elements layer styles and explain how to scale, copy, combine and further customize the presets. Lastly, Davis explains how to save your creations and output them in various formats.

Jack Davis is a designer and photographer and specializes in digital imaging and design. He is one of the Photoshop Dream Team instructors and teaches on the WOW Seminar Tour.

I do fashion illustration so it was fun to see the differences used to create the looks and expressions of these images and contrast that with fashion illustration. I found the book very helpful.

A good index with design terms. So many pages with different poses. Makes the creative part of designing fashion more spontaneous without having to be intimidated by figure drawing.
