4.0 out of 5 stars inspirational, 14 May 2007
By Katie C (Greater Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrations Now! (Paperback)
I believe this book is helpful for anyone who is interested in illustration, it gives you a taster of what is produced in the commercial industry today.

I like the fact that there is information on the artists, you can also contact the artists for help, information and techniques. There is also a broad range of styles shown so should appeal to everyone.

The only thing lacking in the book is detailed information on techniques undertook by the illustrators, abit sparse, you would have to contact the illustrator for more info. Otherwise a great inspirational book, would recommend this book for anyone who is studying illustration.

Great reading!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Impossibly pretty, but not a strong selection, 22 Feb 2006
By István (Budapest, Hungary) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrations Now! (Paperback)
I just couldn't leave this in the shop. It's so beautifully produced that all my objections went for nothing. The Gary Baseman cover alone would have done it.
But if we were to go by the book's content, we would find that 80 percent of today's most remarkable in illustration consists of unimaginative, clipart-like vector graphics and over-airbrushed Photoshop clumsiness. Too much of this stuff fits the term 'visual demagogy'.
By the amount of shallow commerciality presented (which very often borders on dilettantish) the book gives an objective account on the general state of things, to be sure. But why be concerned with the artistically irrelevant, when there are so many great talents out there? Greg Clarke, Gary Taxali, Mark Ulriksen, Dan Page, Joe Morse, James Jean, Brad Holland, John Hendrix, Olaf Hajek, Douglas Fraser, Vanessa Dell, Brian Cronin, Daniel Chang and the already mentioned Gary Baseman are among them. Their painfully few pages save an otherwise unsubstantial book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Illustration Work, but no techniques ..., 6 Sep 2008
By L. Kerr "Lorz" (Glasgow, Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am currently studying Graphic Design, and looking though this book has given me so much insiration for Illustration class! There are lots of illustrations I found that would appeal more to students, or younger people, as they are bold, colourful and abstract. There is plenty variation from Photoshop to clay models, every page you turn it's something different. I found it very useful for new ideas.
Only downside is that it's just examples of work. There are no techniques explained, though it tells you what programs and tools were used ...
