Digital Designer: The Graphic Artist's Guide to the New Media Book

The Digital Designer addresses the concerns of both veterans and students of graphic design who are just beginning to enter the multimedia realm, in which their most important involvement will or should be in developing not only the look, but also the content, of digitally based products. To that end, this book provides a cogent explanation of multimedia's technological genesis; analyzes the numerous layers of design that factor into a multimedia project surface, structure, system, technical, and human end-user considerations; and, perhaps most valuably, features interviews with 17 professional multimedia designers, who give a clear picture of the field and offer solid, sensible advice to anyone interested in it.
