However more detailed information is supplied in two appendices. Ideas are given for those in search of inspiration and the reader is taken through a variety of techniques for creating the images. These could range from producing a mixed media artwork and scanning it, to using digital photographs or imaging software. Very exciting effects can be achieved in this way.
