For screen-based graphic designers working with pixels is nothing new because these tiny dots are the building blocks of digital images. Each digital image is made up of thousands of individual pixels which blend together seamlessly and now designers have begun to experiment with pixels, using them to create a new graphic style that looks blocky and pixellated. Some strive to produce recognizable characters and images using as few pixels as possible; others, notably German-based pioneers of pixel art, eBoy, use millions of pixels to create high definition, detailed images. Pixel World presents the pixel graphics of 30 designers and illustrators from around the world and covers a wide variety of styles and subject matter.
