The Graphic Designer's Digital Toolkit

Allan Wood worked as an Assistant Professor and Program Chair for the Graphic Design and Professional Photography degree programs at McIntosh College in New Hampshire for 12 years before the college closed a few years ago.

The Graphic Designer's Digital Toolkit, 7th Edition not only introduces students to the key capabilities of industry-standard software tools, but also teaches them how to integrate these programs into a cohesive whole. This fully revised new edition examines Macintosh OS X Maverick, Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems, as well as the most recent Creative Cloud features of the "Big 3" digital design programs used in the graphics industry today: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign, using a highly visual and project-based approach.

After thoroughly reviewing each application's characteristics from the designer's point of view, The Graphic Designer's Digital Toolkit explains in practical detail the traditional skills and technology required for good print and Web media design. Students are encouraged to apply what they have learnt by tackling design tasks from concept to completion using online project files throughout the text.

The Graphic Designer's Digital Toolkit effectively integrates theory and practice, emphasizing the crucial role of integration in design while achieving design parameters and customer expectations. It is regarded as one of the best books on Adobe Photoshop.
