Praise for
Vector Basic Training
“The problem with vector images today is that I hate most of them! Mainly
because something dies between the drawing and the precision vector
graphic version. Perhaps it’s the illustration’s soul lost in the transition? Most
vector images today contain too many cyber-slick gradations, they are too
mathematically perfect, like many of the billions of images populating millions
of microstock sites that lack anything real and human. If Von’s book can help
improve a designer’s ability to create better vector images, I’m all for it. And
remember: Just because you can make everything a gradation doesn’t mean
you should make everything a gradation.”

“With
Vector Basic Training,
Von Glitschka shames me. And I thank him for it.
He reminds me that I am walking a tightrope of forsaking my first love: draw-
ing. Von approaches the process with an honor and reverence that emerges
from a tradition rooted in art as much as design. His depth of thought, trained
hand, and ability to art direct himself has produced a stunning body of work
and he brings it all home in
VBT
to share with the reader. That’s the thing with
Von—not only is he a powerful talent, he’s gracious enough to share it all. I’ll
be keeping my copy of
VBT
next to my Mac and, yes, my sketchpad.”

“Von’s experience as an award-winning ‘illustrative designer’ enables him to
provide a valuable methodology for creating vector artwork guaranteed to
produce results for every designer.”

“As president of the School of Advertising Art (saa), I would like to thank Von
for writing this book. Young designers need to understand the power of the
drawing process, and they need to know that time spent sketching before
jumping to the computer is time well spent on any project. Von clearly dem-
onstrates this philosophy throughout the book by incorporating interesting
visual examples of his work. I am excited to share
Vector Basic Training
with
SAA students.”
