Twentieth Century in Pictures
100 Years of Boxing

Ammonite Press

A visual history of one hundred years of British boxing, this book contains around 300 photographs from PA Photos’ huge archives, spanning the whole of the 20th Century. One of the oldest combat sports, boxing dates back to the ancient civilisations. Popular in 18th century Britain as the outlawed bare-knuckle prize-fight, it was not until the introduction of the Marquess of Queensbury rules in 1867 that the sport gained structure and legitimacy. Charting the changing face of amateur and professional boxing, the photographs in this book give readers a flavour of the skill, brutality and grace of the sport, celebrating the heroes and anti heroes of the ring, the triumphs, controversies and tragedies of a sport that pits man against man or, in the modern era, woman against woman, with only their fists as weapons and agility their defence.

Digital Art Revolution
Creating Fine Art with Photoshop

Scott Ligon

In this book, digital artist and arts educator Scott Ligon demonstrates the varied and amazing creative potential of digital art, all from a truly "fine art" perspective. Beginning with an overview of the fundamentals of visual language and how to apply those principals to digital art, Ligon then details a step-by-step summary of the basics of the Photoshop environment. Each chapter that follows presents a series of exercises and projects that explore the creative possibilities inherent in the medium, starting with basic photo manipulation and working through a variety of options for creating cohesive compositions. While geared toward Photoshop beginners in early chapters, the book builds on presented concepts and offers techniques and projects of increasing complexity. Includes the inspiring work of a wide array of digital artists.
