I highly recommend David Park's ComplexAnalysis package, which you may download from his web site: http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/Mathematica.html (You may want to contact him by e-mail to see whether he has any updated version not yet posted there.) The package allows not only direct visualization of a domain in the complex plane and, side-by-side, its image in the complex plane, but the corresponding thing when the complex plane is embedded in the Riemann sphere (and the function lifted from the plane to there). I and my students used Park's package in my undergraduate Complex Analysis course this Fall. Additional examples may be found in notebooks listed on the Files page at my course web site: http://www.math.umass.edu/Courses/Math_421/ See there, especially, IntroComplexGraphics.nb, VisualizeFunctions.nb, ComplexCurves.nb, VisualizeFunctions2.nb, and RiemannSphere.nb. (And note that the version of Park's package in ComplexAnalysis.zip on my course web site is older than what's available from Park's own site.)
