James Gurney, New York Times best-selling author and artist of the Dinotopia series, follows Imaginative Realism with his second art-instruction book, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter.

A researched study on two of art's most fundamental themes, Color and Light bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge. Beginning with a survey of underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color and light, the book examines how light reveals form, the properties of color and pigments, and the wide variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about color, testing it in the light of science and observation. A glossary, pigment index, and bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensible tool for any artist.

This book is the second in a series based on his blog, gurneyjourney.com. His first in the series, Imaginative Realism, was widely acclaimed in the fantastical art world, and was ranked the #1 Bestseller on the Amazon list for art instruction.

To illustrate how colors influence the message, this essential handbook starts with 10 layouts and applies more than 80 different color combinations to each, resulting in a vast collection of dynamic variations.
Includes an interactive CD that allows users to choose layouts from the book, experiment with colors, and print them for reference. This tool illustrates the powerful role colors play in layout design.

Selecting the right colors for any design project, whether personal or commercial, can make all the difference in whether a project communicates effectively to the designated audience. For most people, choosing the right colors is not an easy process. With this comprehensive collection, anyone can make effective and powerful choices for their design and client.
"Color Harmony: Layout" opens with case studies of 10 featured designs; each study explains what the work was trying to achieve and why the particular palette was chosen. The book then follows with 21 chapters, headed by adjectives such as elegant, professional, or classic, that feature the palettes which best reflect the adjective. The chapters also include 10 designated layout designs in 4 different color combinations from that palette. The result: more than 800 color studies illustrating how varying color combinations can dynamically alter a given design and the message it communicates. "Color Harmony: Layout" is an insightful demonstration of the power of color and its ability to convey a message, as well as a time-saving handbook that all designers will turn to again and again.

Selecting the right color palette for any design project, whether personal or commercial, can make all the difference in getting it right. But choosing the right colors for a logo, and ultimately the identity, is essential because it will define all the collateral materials that will follow. Unfortunately, for most people choosing colors is not an easy process, but with a little bit of science and a color advice, anyone can make a strong choice.

Color Harmony: Logos opens with a discussion on how to choose color(s) for logos and follows with a number of case studies on logos where color is a dominate factor such as those for H & R Block, Kodak, and Coca-Cola.

Then, it takes the 26 adjectives from one of the series' predecessors, Complete Color Harmony, and shows one logo for each adjective in 60 different color combinations. The result: 1,560 logo variations that illustrate how colors are used.

In all, the book is a powerful demonstration of the power of color and its ability to impact a message.
