The main areas where we promote and publicize our titles are on our
website (www.3dtotal.com), our dedicated publishing website
(www.3dtotalpublishing.com) and in our digital magazines,
3DCreative and 2DArtist. We host banner adverts on all pages of our
website (in a rota system) where they are seen by our 500,000
unique monthly visitors. Our magazines have 10,000 readers per

Further to this we have a mailing list of 10,000+ which we

and all related promotional activity, on our Twitter and Facebook
pages.
All books are available to pre-order a month before they are
released, and we generally provide some kind of free gift with
pre-orders.
We send out a promotional postcard with all physical orders to
promote books titles that are about to be released.
We have also recently launched a website dedicated to 3DTotal
Publishing, which holds full details about all of our currently
published and upcoming titles, as well as information about our
various global distributors: http://3dtotalpublishing.com/
If a new book is released in an existing series, we write to
customers who have purchased the previous book to let them know
that a new book is now available.
We also try to secure an interview with the main/featured artist
just before the launch, which is made available on our website, and
promote via our social media channels.

We aim for all the contributing artists to post the news of the
book release on their websites and blogs.

3DTotal Publishing
3DTotal was founded in 1999 as a simple 3D resource website. Over
the last decade the site has evolved into one of the premier CG art
websites in the world, offering a variety of training products, an
inspirational gallery, a free texture library and hundreds of free
tutorials on a variety of subjects.
In 2006, 3DTotal entered into partnership with Focal Press and
launched the popular book series Digital Art Masters and Digital
Painting Techniques. The premise for these books was to provide
high quality content that would inspire and educate the next
generation of digital artists. Featuring the work of top industry
professionals, detailed tutorials and image breakdowns, these
series have become firmly established as indispensible resources
for any digital artist.
After five successful years working with Focal Press, 3DTotal
Publishing was launched in early 2010. As well as self-publishing
the next volumes in the pre-existing Digital Art Masters and
Digital Painting Techniques series, 3DTotal Publishing has launched
a number of new titles including: Photoshop for 3D Artists: Volume
1, Beginner’s Guide to Digital Painting in Photoshop and ZBrush
Character Creation.
