Want to read intelligent, in-depth articles about design, get insight from leading creatives and go behind-the-scenes of real-world design projects? Computer Arts Collection is a six-part annual series of 200-page volumes, available in both print and digital formats, dealing with the six core topics of graphic design, typography, illustration, branding, photography and advertising.
Volume 3 of the Collection, focusing on illustration, has just been released and is available to buy now in both print and digital formats. Highlights include:
- A guest-edited studio project, complete with accompanying video diaries, courtesy of ilovedust - the studio responsible for the famous interior visuals of MEATliquor.
