Octopus Publishing Group The Photographer's Eye Remastered 10th Anniversary: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photographs
With a completely refreshed look to celebrate its tenth anniversary, Michael Freeman's iconic bestseller, The Photographer's Eye, has never looked better.Design is the single most important factor in creating a successful photograph. The ability to see the potential for a strong picture and then organize the graphic elements into an effective, compelling composition has always been one of the key skills in making photographs. Of course, digital photography has brought a new, exciting aspect to design first because the instant feedback from a digital camera allows immediate appraisal and improvement; and second because image-editing tools make it possible to alter and enhance the design after the shutter has been pressed. This has had a profound effect on the way digital photographers take pictures. The Photographers Eye shows how anyone can develop an eye for seeing great digital photos. The book explores all the traditional approaches to composition and design, but crucially, it also addresses the new digital technique of shooting in the knowledge that a picture will later be edited, manipulated, or montaged to result in a final image that may be very different from the one seen in the viewfinder.

Octopus Publishing Group WOMXN: Sticks and Stones: Acrostics and Poems to Reclaim the Words that Have Hurt Us
"There are so many words, insults, labels and boxes for women to be packaged and packed off in. Often, but not always, they're words coined by men."Why that is, is a bigger conversation that is starting to be had by women everywhere. We're slowly, but oh-so-surely, making it clear that there is no man in womxn. We're writing him out and writing us back in, and we deserve a suffix all of our own that is free from patriarchal roots. So from here on in, we are WOMXN.Sticks and Stones is a powerful reclamation of the slurs and insults thrown at women for centuries. It's a righting of wrongs - a rewriting of sexist, belittling and shaming language. It's a tool for breaking free from the stereotypes and impossible standards used to confine women, transforming them into messages of resilience and resolve. And, most importantly, it's a rallying call for change, healing and empowerment.It takes the words, slurs, insults and labels that are used to diminish women every day and breaks them down and tears them apart. It transmutes and rewrites these words - sometimes with all of the pain they trigger, sometimes in the form of positive affirmations, mantras and poems - all told in acrostics.With their underlying meditative rhythms, these acrostics are also a remedy for healing wounds and empowering women to have the confidence to be their true selves. You can dip in and out, or read it cover to cover. You can come back to, and work through, any words that resonate with you. Lexy also offers clearing meditations at the back of the book to help you tackle the words that hurt you most, helping to remove them from your past, present and future.This title is illustrated by the hugely talented illustrator and print maker Margaux Carpentier. Margaux creates pictures using a symbolic language, so each piece has its own unique message for every individual. Her work is inspired by all the incredible colours of the world. She adapts her illustrations in 3D and large-scale murals, the most recent of which is currently on display in Brown Hart Gardens in Mayfair, London.

If that sounds familiar, and you too want to munch into breaded chicken or enjoy gooey Mac & cheese, then I'm here to show you that, yes, you can make ANYTHING gluten free.'Megan McKenna, Celebrity MasterChef finalist, singer-songwriter, highly engaged influencer, coeliac and home cook, invites you into her gluten-free kitchen. Regularly sharing her cooking videos with over 4 million viewers, Megan is often messaged to ask: 'Can you make that gluten-free?' And now Megan is inviting you into her gluten-free kitchen with her first cookbook, which proves that anyone, regardless of dietary requirements can eat delicious, mouthwatering meals, just like everybody else - simply by swapping a few ingredients along the way.With more than 80 gluten-free recipes to explore, and chapters covering Quick Bites, Naughty Nights In, Posh Nosh and Heaven O'Clock, there's no need to feel left out on pancake day, spend another birthday without cake or miss out on the food at parties and events. Growing up, Megan was constantly unwell and found herself eating her lunches alone in the stairwell at school. When she was finally diagnosed with coeliac disease, Megan was encouraged to cook everything from scratch by her mum and soon learnt how to manage her health. She has had her fair share of trolls and tantrums along the way, but Megan's resilience, relaxed kitchen vibe and down-to-earth recipes have helped her enjoy everyday, tasty gluten-free food, and now you can, too.
