For the Person Who Really Uses Multimedia Every Day

Multimedia: Making it Work, Seventh Edition As a professor, who teaches at a community college, I find that this book, by Tay Vaughan, has been a real help to my multimedia students. My students are the regular folk who are about 85% of the population. While we do not have lots of money for fancy equipment we have found that this book is really helpful. Things change with technology rapidly. No one can argue that but, how many people can keep up with the latest geegaw? My students are hard working folks that like this book very much because it is, and has been, a wonderful reference for understanding how technology works. Even though it has been around a while my pupils love it and it has been and is a big eye-opener to them. We buy the lastest magazine for the fancy stuff. Solid information is not easy to come by. We think Tay Vaughan has been very helpful with this book. My students love it.

Multimedia: making It work 6th edition

Great introduction to the world of multimedia. Being a beginner myself, I found the book to be both informative and practical. it is a great reference source and I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in a multimedia career.

All in one reference!

This is THE book for serious multimedia producers and managers! Covers everything from hardware and software specs to design and production, to managing a project right down to final delivery in multiple formats and media. Read Designing Multimedia by Lisa Lopuck for novices and entry level multimedia producers. Read Multimedia Making it Work by Tay Vaughan for advanced and in depth material for the serious manager/producer. Would have been nice though if Macromedia could have kept there cd that came with the 3rd edition book in with the 4rth edition. I also reccommend the book Getting Started in Multimedia Design by Gary Olsen as a quick and comprehensive guide to designing multimedia and web projects.

excellent book for those interested in multimedia

I was given this book as a gift and it was invaluable. It's easy to read and provides helpful information. I especially liked the CD ROM. Among the things on the CD is a demo of Macromedia Director. Anyone going into multimedia must learn how to use Director. This demo helped me learn the software without investing $500+ in the software.
