gorelov, please tell me: when you only have conceived of a future book, the issue of conventional drawings in general discussion? Or computer graphics was immediately?

Computer graphics was immediately in the decoration of books, as computers appeared, this issue was decided in advance and in our case. By the way, ten years ago all the experts convinced that the book illustrations must be accomplished "by hand" (paints, pencils) were subjected to ridicule and humiliation, not pale in comparison to my "rudeness", moreover, some of especially hardcore fans of manual work in general is gradually removed from the teaching of composition in art schools and institutes. Opposition was so strong that the "real" artists could not even bear the sound of the printer, so that's aversion to computers, some were great.

Continuing the theme of the artist Rashid Dominova, which previously began with his illustrations for the book Dante Aligegi "New Life", posted an illustration of this artist to the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam.

I invite you to visit 22 Moscow International Exhibition and Fair

be held 2-7 September 2009 on the territory of the VVC

Pavilion 75

Information:
1) the first time the exhibition takes place in a huge new pavilion 75, construction of which was recently completed. The pavilion is located near the main entrance, right in the town attractions.

2) I recommend to reserve for the show at least two full days, just so you can leisurely get acquainted with all the exhibitors.

3) The most difficult days for the visit - Saturday and Sunday. The last day of the exhibition is usually the most uninteresting. Almost half of the stands does not work, with dinner, all begin feverishly to collect their belongings.

but that for the exhibition?

Eugene, you kidding?!
More than once I have already alluded to is the most representative event in the book world, Russia, skip part which can not afford a publishing house, and all interested in modern books. Of course, there is basically showing a massive book. Business is business. But where else can you get an autograph or Radzinsky Voznesensky, Makarevich or Lukyanenko?
Well, if it is good to walk, you can find real gems.
Many publishers specially for the exhibition offer very attractive prices for their publications, so last year I brought back from the exhibition of more than 60 kg of lean. album of the Russian Museum for a very ridiculous prices from 100 to 800 rubles. I recommend to take a large bag, preferably on wheels. The regulars of the exhibition and do, so you will not look it wildly with a large suitcase. Personally, I am taking a bag not only on the 15 "wheels, but with the motor. Moreover, such a" bag "is easy to park right near the pavilion.

PS But be careful - you can run into high margins bolt of some participants.

VOYAGE PITTORESQUE
Artistic journey
Pushkin

So full title is this interesting book published in 1999. by HGS. Who remembers, while a country with a lavishly celebrated 200-year anniversary of the poet. Publish more of a pompous or boring literature - so it was made for the jubilee. During the next book exhibition at the VVC (VDNH) in 1999. my eyes came across this book. In fact, this is not a book in the full sense of the word. HGS - a company that sells printing equipment, this is not a publisher. And the book - an advertising project, which demonstrates the possibilities of modern printing and paper from the designer collections.
I did not so easy to buy VOYAGE PITTORESQUE. "This is not for sale, is for partners" - told me the staff at the booth. I hardly asked to borrow a sample on the last day of the exhibition, shortly before closing, for a symbolic amount of 999 rubles. I could not do otherwise - so nice to keep in the hands of this masterpiece of printing. Unfortunately, photos do not give a different texture of rough thick paper.
     Again - these books must be kept in their hands. And their tactile feel. In the book published nine short works by AS Pushkin. Prose, poetry, story, play ... all different, as different images made by different artists. How different paper - each piece, in fact, a separate book in the overall volume.

PS
A reminder that tomorrow begins the next Book Fair.
