This review is from: Macintosh Graphic Techniques for Multimedia (Paperback)

This book is an information-packed resource that provides invaluable tools for both the beginning graphic designer and the experienced multimedia developer for creating attractive and easy to use on-screen images and graphics. It thoroughly covers the techniques for designing interactive products, including 3D graphics, user interface design, and pages for the World Wide Web. A CD-ROM is includedwhich contains examples in HyperCard, SuperCard, and Director files, and a presentation which compliments key portions of the book done in SuperCard.
