This book includes a CD with digital design elements and 25 projects to create using Adobe Photoshop Elements. Written for mixed media artists, art journalers, scrapbookers, and daydreams, this book explains how to manipulate single images with texture, color, and text plus create the look of traditional art (drawings/paintings). It also includes step-by-step instruction for building collages and montages using your own art or art you’ve found. It’s a digital world in many ways so why not incorporate digital elements into your art and craft? The bonus CD includes assorted brushes, photos, and textures. I suggest the reader have at least some basic knowledge of using Adobe Photoshop Elements, but this book teaches the beginner and will inspire the intermediate and advanced digital enthusiasts.
