Publications
Books

 

From 1992 to 1998 I wrote 15 books about
software Freehand, Pagemaker and CorelDRAW, with the Inforbook publisher .

They were seven very intense years in which I learned structured and slowly
the technique of digital graphic. I understand the basics of digital illustration of the hand
of the first vector and bitmap software. I was able to establish a good relationship,
and sharing experiences with the company Corel Corporation.
With the Enric Mora editor learned a lot about the publishing world,
the truth is that we did a great job. The books were selling well.

I worked in an shared office in Provence street, and I remember
a lot of wekends writing and illustrating..., and I never had to feel stress!
