Design a book to work like a computer interface? With icon guides, lots of color, plenty of illustrations, and just the right amount of text? Multimedia Demystified takes a decidedly graphic approach, like a Macintosh, in explaining how to think about multimedia. In three parts, this book starts off wisely by explaining how it works, with icons representing different audiences and multimedia participants, from clients to artists to writers. Twelve categories of projects are analyzed in the second part, while the last part describes the process of inventing multimedia. Useful appendixes point to other resources, as well as indexing interviews and case studies described in the text. Overall, you'll find Multimedia Demystified an excellent place to think about the many tasks inherent in multimedia, the kinds of expertise you'll need, and the costs involved. A realistic yet entertaining guide to the subject.
