Editorial Reviews

Product Description:
The moving image is a significant part of graphic design, even discounting motion graphics on-line. But now this world is in turmoil. ‘Transitions’ is the theme that runs through this book, which deals not only with technical and creative innovations at the cutting edge of this branch of graphic design, but the challenges facing the industry and the changes ahead. Moves and changes are the stock in trade of the motion graphic designer from one image or scene to the next and this book neatly takes the analogy and applies it globally to the discipline.

The availability of cheap, easy to use digital video equipment has enabled graphic designers to move into the world of film; On Screen In Time arrives at the point where digital media design and film making meet. Through interviews with leading practitioners across the world, the book focuses on transitions across the range of motion graphics, from Hollywood titles to experimental films on digital video, to interactive interfaces for digital TV. There is also a practical tutorial section.

GREAT FOR THE MOTION GRAPHICS PROFESSIONAL, January 4, 2007
By Kingfish (Nowhere from Here)
There aren't many great books on the market for Motion Graphics professionals and this one is a 'must have'. I love the storyboards and conceptualization surrounding each project. It's a really great collection of work that should inspire any designer.

not the way I accepted, March 18, 2006
By Oren Green (Tel Aviv, Israel)
Got the book in bad condition, the cover was ripped, the pages were crumpled . Another thing is my fault of not noticing that it is an old book (in design years, so I wasnt updated as I hoped fo)

Thank you, Oren

Does not go in depth enough, September 19, 2005
By M. Havener
I read some glowing reviews about this book at Amazon, so when I received it and found out it was like a coffee table book I was disappointed. I expected it to delve deeper into the thought processes of the artists, but unfortunately too many selections remain on the surface.

Inspiring, June 20, 2003
By (Kansas City, MO)
There are loads of useful books on motion graphics, but this one is not only useful/helpful, but highly enjoyable -- and inspiring. The writing is wonderful and the images are beautifully done, but the interviews really make this book stand out.

On Screen In Time is a gem -- I highly recommend.

I have been collecting design books for over 20 years and motion graphics is one area of design that has been incredibly underrepresented in print. Sure, there are lots of books on how to use Final Cut or After Effects, but few and far between showcasing the best work being done in the industry. Goux & Houff have done an amazing job of representing the moving in still images. The book is beautifully designed and jam packed with eye candy - every page an inspiration. This book is a must have if you are interested in the field of motion graphics. Use it to give yourself a break from all those mind-numbing tutorials. Oh, and did I mention I want to be Elaine Cantwell...
