From the Publisher

Review in I.D. magazine, March/April 1998 issue
Melissa Dallal writes, "....The book's first half concentrates on multimedia's evolution and components, drawing on conceptual, technical and project examples to characterize the elements involved in creating digital media, while the second and more provocative half presents 17 interviews with a range of leading new media designers (Razorfish's Thomas Mueller and Craig Kanarick, IDEO's Peter Spreenberg and new media artist Marianne R. Petit among them)....Whether you're looking to break into the industry or you're already there, the diverse range of voices found here offers a wealth of insight." END
