Framed Environment Design

Framed Environment Design presents the art, thoughts, and philosophies behind designing environments for film, animation, graphic novels, and illustration in a way that they serve a narrative purpose and become part of the story, helping visualize a script and making it come alive in meaningful ways--together with the characters as part of the same actions and emotions. From historical epic to futuristic architecture, and natural environments to fantasy scenarios, in this new book of his best-selling Framed series, Marcos Mateu-Mestre explains the full process in detail. Starting with the early research stages and thought process, all the way to the final design with hundreds of carefully created and never-seen-before illustrations and sketches, the reader can not only follow the detailed explanations but actually make sense of them through an incredible array of visual ideas and solutions.
