Crumble Crackle Burn portrays the aesthetic beauty of an art book but the functionality of a valuable tool that professional designers and illustrators will use again and again. It features 60 photographic textures of natural, real-world surfaces along with corresponding examples of how they can be artistically applied in design and illustration projects. The companion DVD contains over 120 high-resolution texture images in 3 formats that are ready for professional use.Compiled by a professional for professionals, these organic textures are timeless in application and will quickly become a favorite resource that will spark the imagination, inspire creativity and infuse your art with an authentic, organic flair.

DVD-Roms feature book content in PDF format and can be viewed with Acrobat Reader (a free program easily downloaded online). They are compatible with PC and Macintosh, however, the computer will need to have a DVD reader in order to run. Because these are data discs, they will not run in your home DVD player.
