Any book on computer graphics would be a good start for the graphics side. I like 3D Computer Graphics by Alan Watt as an introduction and overview link and Real-time Rendering for more advanced subjects link The session from Assembly 'The Basics of Demo Programming' is online and may also be useful ▶ this video or have a look at The Demo Effects Collection link But it depends what platform you want to use C-64 An Introduction to Programming C-64 Demos link and link Processing link WebGL Browserscene: Creating demos on the Web link Deconstructing a browserscene demo link I have some more bookmarks on pinboard link
