If you are just getting started with Flash or would like to know how to do some advanced things with it, this book is a must have. Flash can be somewhat difficult when starting out, but with this book and a cup of joe, you are good for hours of Flash Design!

Casi una biblia del flash 8, un muy buen libro de referencia para crear en flash

Loved this book. ActionScript was such a mystery to me but this book really made it easy to understand. I am an instructor and technical writer who has been called on to teach Flash. The Actionscript stuff had me stumped; but this book really helped me pick up a few tricks that really are impressive.

It is the only book I ever read on the subject that is not boring. This guy definitely has a sense of humor!

This book is similar to Thomson Learning's Illustrated Series, where you have one topic simply explained with how-to steps on 2 facing pages, including illustrations. No lengthy explanations, not an intro book, you'll have to explore basics or "why" elsewhere; you just get the basic steps to do the task. And since that's what the authors intended, I give them full stars for achieving it with a book that's clear and concise.

Not your average Flash book! Basically it's impossible to read all in one go, it's properly dense. I'm not sure whether it's 100% relevant any more, there are countless more up to date books and but boy, has this guy done his homework! I checked out his website, too, and it's impressive. Never seen 3D stuff like this, graphs and even complex molecule viewers all done in Flash and all looking great. Component stuff is way too deep for me but sure they'll be programmers out there who need this depth. All in all, I'd say if you're a "serious" Flash programmer, especially if you come from a background other than design and want to know just how far you can push it, you should own a copy. I think it will run and run. Respect, James Smith!

I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of information offered in this book. It is well written, liberally illustrated. This is one of the best book on Flash MX 2004 which I have find for so long. The simple explanations and pratical uses deserve applause. The examples are set out into easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedures. This means you'll never be left wondering. Thank you Nik for his patience and guidance when I write him for the problems which I meet when using the book.

Jumping into the flexographic world is a bit complicated. This book gives excellent descriptions and pictures for people who have no frame of reference. It made reading something like F.I.R.S.T. much more accessible.

This book is excellent for anyone involved in print, design and/ or production. A comprehensive guide to every fold you could imagine (sometimes the names are slightly different), explained in easy to follow steps. Highly recommended.

There's only a couple character design books out there. Most notably Creating Characters with Personality: For Film, TV, Animation, Video Games, and Graphic Novels. This new volume of Force takes on design from a more exploratory standpoint. One that can also lead to a foundation of more informed choices when working with Bancroft's methods later on.

The text starts off with a review of the drawing techniques Mattesi laid out in the original Force. Not only the concepts of drawing with forceful lines and shapes, but also ensuring every aspect of your drawing make a statement about the subject. It's that thought process that leads to interesting designs.

This book has no shortage of examples of experimental designs based off of posed models. Not only from the author, but also from several noted artists including Stephen Silver, Dean Yeagle & Ragnar. Each example includes explainations for the artistic choices made.

Flipping through the pages of this book you, you won't find many of the tight, nailed down drawings you might expect from a character design book, but the principles Mattesi teaches build a strong foundation to create better, more interesting designs.
