Framed Ink 2: Frame Format, Energy, and Composition for Visual Storytellers

The highly anticipated follow-up to Framed Ink from DreamWorks and Netflix animator and illustrator, Marcos Mateu-Mestre. Framed Ink 2 provides insight into another compositional tool that Mateu-Mestre uses every day to create his amazing artwork--the energy within the working frame. In each piece of art, regardless of its format, one must consider essential factors such as the push-pull, tension-relaxation, pressure-release, balance and imbalance that happen inside the working area to support our storytelling. All of these factors apply in any aspect ratio, whether it be horizontal, vertical or square, each a format to consider when working in the movie, gaming, animation and graphic novel industries, which in our day and age can be presented through a variety of outlets such as a movie theater, home theater, social media and a number of personal devices.Mateu-Mestre encourages and educates us on how not to be limited by the format but to embrace and rise to the challenge of designing for each format. A perfect accompaniment to his prior releases Framed Ink, Framed Perspective Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and Framed Drawing Techniques, this book will take a reader's knowledge base to the next level and allow them to build on their expertise as an effective visual storyteller.Author: Marcos Mateu-MestrePublisher: Design Studio PressPublished: 01/19/2021Pages: 128Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.45lbsSize: 10.90h x 8.50w x 0.40dISBN13: 9781624650536ISBN10: 1624650538BISAC Categories:- Art | Techniques | Drawing- Art | Film & Video- Art | Digital
