 Golden Bee Photoshop Jeffrey M. de Guzman, PHILIPPINES Now, let's take a look at the categories (twenty of them!). Most of the categories remained the same as in previous editions, but there were a few alterations, as well as a few additions this time around. The categories in Exposé 6 are:Â
 Books of the South Photoshop Client: Tor Books Art Director: Irene Gallo Raymond Swanland, USA My particular favorite pieces fell into the categories of Architecture, Matte Painting, and Abstract and Design. But, of course, that's merely my taste and there is definitely something for everyone here.  Geisha Painter, Photoshop Lukasz Pazera, GREAT BRITAIN While everyone appearing in this book could truly carry an award, there were two classes of award given for each category: Master and Excellence. While only one Master award was given in each category, there were also 1-3 Excellence awards given. Furthermore, there was one Grand Master award given over all. This went out to Syd Mead, who is appropriately highlighted at the beginning of the book with a look at his work, as well as some great food for thought from the man that worked on movies such as Aliens and Bladerunner.   Woodall Rodgers Park 3ds Max, V-Ray, Photoshop Client: Lincoln Property Centre Architect: HKS Green Grass Studios, USA So, if you haven't gathered by now just how well I think of Exposé 6, then you definitely missed a big something, or perhaps you fell asleep after reading the first line of this review. In any case, I highly recommend this book. Wait...scratch that. I highly recommend this fine collection of outstanding digital artwork in high quality print. Dare I say that you may even look into collecting previous editions if you don't have them already.  Audi R8 Spaceframe 3ds Max, Photoshop, V-Ray Client and Art Direction: GT Ben Robins and Jon Clayton, RealtimeUK, GREAT BRITAIN Pricing: About Ballistic Publishing Ballistic Publishing is the leading, award-winning, independent publisher of books for the digital arts industry.

If
there's one thing that I've learned about Ballistic Publishing,
it's their commitment to putting forth the finest quality
publications that are a sheer joy to hold in your hands. Flipping
through the latest in their Exposé series, it is a wonder to
behold. So much brilliant artwork contributed by digital artists
from around the globe, neatly contained in one book perfect for
anyone's bookshelf, or better yet, coffee table! Daniel Wade and

all together.June 2, 2008
