I recommend this book to my students. It gives an excellent overiew of multimedia tools and techniques. It is, however, a bit of a mixed bag. It covers a great many topics, but none in much detail. Although a bit vague, it is an excellent buy for any students of multimedia or any professionals who want better view of the big picture.
However most multimedia professionals might best spend their money on something more meaty.

Though very specifically directed at multimedia production, the ideas in this book also hold value for those interested in web design. The discussion of the production timeline is particularly good.

I recommend this book to anyone just getting started in the multimedia industry!
(Heck, read it even if you are a pro, it's fanatastic!)

Clear concise overviews on the entire mulitmedia development process is what makes this book number 1.
This should be a required text book for any university offering a multimedia program! Way to go Ms. Lopuck!

for being a book on graphic design, it is not very pretty, infact it is terribly hard to read some of the fonts. it was published in 1996... think about how much technology has changed. while i'm sure you can apply some of the 'theories' put forth in this book to modern situations, i'm sure there are much better, current books that will be worth your time.
