Think of the computer as a magic box, with many graphic images hidden inside it. This book is positioned as a starter guide to calling forth these images, creating figures with basic shapes such as lines, arcs, squares, and circles. This is an everyday guide to computer illustrating, a collection of design inspiration, and a compendium of Osamu Sato's own computer artworks and screen-based design. Originally published in 1993, this new 2020 edition of The Art of Computer Designing: A Black and White Approach has been supplemented with a new introduction and cover by Sato, and a fresh translation of the Japanese text by Kensuke Hidaka. Includes trademarks, pictograms, typography, and posters.
