Gain skills in image and logo manipulation that will enhance your designs and make them more appealing--either in your portfolio or for your clients next graphic project. As Adobe's Photoshop and Illustrator have evolved, new and unique features have been added to these programs that offer different options for warping and distorting graphics and shapes. For the beginner and intermediate student or graphic artist, choosing or knowing which distort or warp tool to use among so many available can become overwhelming and confusing. This book primarily focuses on teaching how to work with various warping tools and filters in Photoshop, though you will also be using graphics acquired from Adobe Illustrator. Knowing how to work between these two Applications is a crucial part of understanding how to successfully manipulate your designs. In Photoshop, you'll see how to alter both raster images and vector graphics, and learn how to do this with layers in various non-destructive ways. Some of the filters mentioned in this book will be familiar to you, as you may have used them frequently. However, others are well hidden, are new, or perhaps you have never considered that you could use that tool, dialog box, or filter to warp or distort. You will: Become proficient in using the warping and distorting tools and filters in Photoshop, as well as how to correct basic distortions in photos and add perspective Grasp transferring illustrations from Illustrator for use in Photoshop Discover how to warp and distort type Generate unique patterns Work with Smart Object Layers and Smart Filters Work in combination with older tools and newer, enhanced ones .

Nowadays, most digital modulation schemes are based on conventional signal constellations that have no algebraic group, ring, or field properties, e.g. square quadrature-amplitude modulation constellations. Signal constellations with algebraic structure can enhance the system performance. For instance, multidimensional signal constellations based on dense lattices can achieve performance gains due to the dense packing. The algebraic structure enables low-complexity decoding and detection schemes. In this work, signal constellations with algebraic properties and their application in spatial modulation transmission schemes are investigated. Several design approaches of two- and four-dimensional signal constellations based on Gaussian, Eisenstein, and Hurwitz integers are shown. Detection algorithms with reduced complexity are proposed. It is shown, that the proposed Eisenstein and Hurwitz constellations combined with the proposed suboptimal detection can outperform conventional two-dimensional constellations with ML detection. About the author Daniel Rohweder received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering and information technology and the M.Eng. degree in electrical systems engineering from HTWG Konstanz, University of Applied Sciences, Germany, in 2015 and 2017, respectively. In 2016, he joined the Institute of System Dynamics (ISD), HTWG Konstanz, working on signal constellations with algebraic properties and their application in spatial modulation transmission schemes.

Emoji have gone from being virtually unknown to being a central topic in internet communication. What is behind the rise and rise of these winky faces, clinking glasses and smiling poos? Given the sheer variety of verbal communication on the internet and English's still-controversial role as lingua mundi for the web, these icons have emerged as a compensatory universal language. The Semiotics of Emoji looks at what is officially the world's fastest-growing form of communication. Emoji, the colourful symbols and glyphs that represent everything from frowning disapproval to red-faced shame, are fast becoming embedded into digital communication. Controlled by a centralized body and regulated across the web, emoji seems to be a language: but is it? The rapid adoption of emoji in such a short span of time makes it a rich study in exploring the functions of language. Professor Marcel Danesi, an internationally-known expert in semiotics, branding and communication, answers the pertinent questions. Are emoji making us dumber? Can they ultimately replace language? Will people grow up emoji literate as well as digitally native? Can there be such a thing as a Universal Visual Language? Read this book for the answers.--
