Even if you love art, love cool pictures, love computers, and love your graphics job, says designer and author Shane Hunt, you still want to get your work done quickly and painlessly Hunt provides you with time-saving tools and tips on working smart in CorelDRAW 9 F/X and Design. This graphics- and content-rich book allows beginning or advanced users to take charge and master CorelDRAW 9, the powerful object-oriented graphics suite.

Almost every page includes a "tips" section--these range from bitmap explanations and exporting to duotone hints and tricks for color. Along with the manageable step-by-step projects in the book, Hunt includes a brilliant color studio and visual gallery filled with final images (these can also be found on the CD-ROM) that include corresponding sites in the book. For example, she directs readers to "find something you like, point finger, exclaim 'Cool!' then flip to the chapter that explains the process. Enjoy!" Some of the tutorials take you from past images--in one section, from the '30s and '40s--and show you how to add sci-fi pulp and comic-book style touches to your designs.

The accompanying CD-ROM is packed with tutorial files in native CorelDRAW formats, animation files, button and interface design samples, clip-art pics, plug-ins, graphics goodies, and f/x utilities. This is a great resource for graphics designers ready to plunge into the world of splashy creations and advance their careers with a deeper understanding of CorelDRAW 9. --Brooke Gilbert

Topics covered: CorelDRAW interface and toolset, new features of CorelDRAW 9 (bitmaps, effects filters, Artistic Media tool, outlines to objects conversion, Interactive Mesh Fill tool), and animation (using CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT)..

In the future, the existence of the human race hangs by a thread. Earth is being besieged by alien forces, and physicist Ben Simon must develop a weapon system to stop the scourge and save humanity

The largest enemy is the Cylots, an alien population of human-sized insects. They are destroyers who never lose—a space plague that leaves dead bodies and lifeless planets in its wake.

Much of EarthÂ’s progress in research and development was obliterated when the Cylots destroyed the planetÂ’s research facilities. Simon must go back in time to retrieve the formula that could possibly defeat the Cylots. Joining him is Mectar, an alien metamorph and special operations soldier from the planet Kia. Originally assigned to assassinate Simon during the Earth-Kian wars, Mectar is now delegated to protect him. After traveling back to the early twenty-first century, they team up with research technician Beth Grey, and the three search for the formula and battle the Cylots.

Action packed and fast moving, Currently Dead takes science fiction lovers on a journey through time, not knowing which human form can be trusted.

The runaway best seller on both planets Lalia and Parador is now available on Earth. ItÂ’s the actual future history of Earth the story of physicist Ben Simon, and the fight to develop a weapon system to stop the Cylot scourge and save humanity.

“It’s a wonderful story.”—Queen Lynth of Lalia

“It changed my life.”—Mectar the Kian

“I had a larger part in the version published on Parador.”—Razqual of Parador
