Photo-Editing and Presentation

by Douglas Holleley
Price: $24.95

This book introduces photographers, print-makers, and other graphic artists to the creative possibilities of image editing and presentation. The focus is on how meaning can be created and shaped if the emphasis is placed on the totality of the visual experience rather than by looking at each single image in isolation.

View It! The Art and Architecture of RIT

by Becky Simmons , Houghton Wetherald
edited by David Pankow
Price: $9.95

Undulating metal planes shout "View It!" from a cafeteria wall. Richly hued, monumental square murals pulse their welcome in a grand lobby. A multitude of fine works on paper awaits contemplation in the library. A titan sculpture of sinuous steel beckons visitors onto campus. Numerous galleries and exhibition spaces provide opportunities for art appreciation and critique. These pieces and venues, and many more, find their homes throughout the cohesive fabric of patterned brick that makes up RIT's unique campus. Now, for the first time, the history, artists, and significance of these RIT artworks are revealed in View It!—the guidebook and walking art tour.

Sentinel

edited by James Yarrington
Price: $35.99

Albert Paley's Sentinel has transformed the face of RIT: a dramatic focal point in the heart of campus, at the crossroads for all RIT community activity. As the largest sculpture at any American university, its presence, while inciting both admiration and debate, perhaps best represents an academic institution's highest ideal: the ability to foster and freely express a creative idea. This important sculpture is now the subject of a book by RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press.
