Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for team organization

I can't believe a student considered this a book for the "feeble-minded". While the introduction quickly covers the basic technologies driving media today, the flowcharting principles and media management guidelines are top notch. This book provides an excellent foundation for getting your multimedia team of designers, programmers and producers off on the right foot. I made it required reading for the members of my staff, and I recommend it to all of my students.

Excellent Teacher's Reference and Instruction Book

Luppa has been working with Disney,Hewlett Packard and Apple computers and he is currently vice-president of Paramount Digital Entertainment. His book is one of the best publications in this field. He gives examples on interactive teching methods and evaluation criteria, implementation issues etc. (Multimedia workflow models,designing documents,interactive entertainment). A must for techer's and lecturer's, goes beyond the counting of pixels of a desktop-icon. I am lecturer for Interactive Media Design at Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore.

A clear explanation of design strategies for the web.

I found the book to be a clear and simple explanation of the design principles needed to create excellent web sites and CD-ROMs. It was also an exceptional review of instructioanl design strategies for use with interacive video and the internet.
