Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Budding multimedia designers will profit most from media designer Olsen's (Getting Started in Computer Graphics, 1989; North Light, 1993; reprint) competent handbook, a weighty primer for graphic artists increasingly drawn to multimedia's grand potential. Olsen delves into differences between print and electronic design; tells how to find a complete team of programmers, musicians, and writers; explains how to add music, sound, and video; and pitches some of the best ways to reproduce, package, and price the end result. Sparkling visuals and snappy text add to Olsen's liberal sprinkling of reality-check sidebars and profiles, delightful sidetracks that not only seek to engage readers in selected technical issues but also to draw them in closer still with tales of an inspiring assortment of artists who took the multimedia plunge?and never looked back. Olsen's triumph is a scrumptious treat for the eyes. Highly recommended for all graphic design and computer collections.?Geoff Rotunno, "Tri-Mix" magazine, Goleta, Cal.

3.0 out of 5 stars A so so book with lots of pictures and no big words., June 10, 1999

By A Customer

Once again I had to buy this book for a college course on New Media. I must say for starters that this book is way better than the book "Designing Interactive Digital Media; by Nicholas V. Iuppa, Nick Iuppa ". I have to say that the paper quality on this book is excellent and the usage of larger fonts makes it a good and easy read. So I highly recomend it for those who have an attention defecit disorder when it comes to learning techno mumbo jumbo. What I can't stand is all of the pictures and graphics thrown about the page wherever the heck it pleases the author. It gives the book the feel of a dyslexic Web page on crack. The author gives many examples on New Media applications and I'd say that he knows his stuff. It is a book for the user who already has thier feet wet in the New Media environment. What I liked about the book is that the author gave examples on software available on other platforms such as the Mac. A platform often overlooked by the Microsoft pimps of the world. This book has found it's way onto my bookshelf for semi-permanent storage at least until I find a better one. In summary, this book aint that bad of a deal for the retail price and it by far beats the hefty, jacked up price here at the IUPUI book store.
