La cultura de la comunicación audiovisual está plenamente inserta en la vida cotidiana de las sociedades occidentales y tiene en el diseño de motion graphics (imágenes en movimiento) uno de sus elementos mas elaborados. Aunque sus origenes se hallan en el mundo cine, el motion graphics no alcanzo su apogeo hasta la era de los nuevos medios, cuando los medios de comunicacion tradicionales convergieron con el ordenador.Actualmente, el diseño de motion graphics es una actividad interdisciplinar que surge de la interaccion del diseño grafico tradicional con ambitos audiovisuales como el cine, la television, la animacion, la musica, la tecnologia, internet y, en definitiva, aquellos contextos comunicativos donde el soporte de trasmision es una pantalla. Este libro es un manual completo y exhaustivo que nos adentra en el diseño de motion graphics explorando el papel del diseñador y los procesos creativos que conlleva la realizacion de proyectos complejos. El libro presta especial atencion al diseño televisivo y el branding de canales (broadcast design) y, ademas de aportar una valiosisima y rigurosa bibliografia sobre diseño aun escasa en castellano, incorpora el analisis de interesantes casos practicos de proyectos de motion graphics realizados para la television.
Master storyteller Viktor Wynd is back with a gloriously grim collection of wickedly entertaining tales from around the world, guaranteed to tickle the darker side of the imagination. Viktor Wynd has always gravitated towards the weirder corners of folklore. On his extensive travels, he has amassed a trove of stories that refuse to play nice - filled with risque twists, grotesque details, and endings that are surprisingly happy, though not always in the way one might expect. Having entertained audiences around the world with these tales, he has now written down some of his favorites in a book as beautifully produced as it is macarbre. The stories were collected in Wales, Ireland, Arabia, Germany, Norway, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo, and include the adventures of a one-eyed troll; the feckless Paddy ODwyer; a changeling child; a girl who thinks she can outwit a witch; the doomed Sinbad the Traveler; shapeshifters; and a baby-eating pig. Each chapter begins with Wynds personal account of how he came to learn these stories. Arresting and intricate illustrations by Transylvanian artist Luciana Nedelea perfectly balance the charming and grotesque. The book also includes a guide to the art of learning and recounting fairy tales. With foil accents and stenciled edges, this volume feels like a forbidden artifact plucked from a dusty cabinet of curiosities.
