Description: Multimedia Graphics, the first volume of its kind, showcases hundreds of full-color screen images - the best designs from the fast-paced world of interactive media - and explores the issues involved in designing for increasingly nontraditional venues.

Selected by a panel of top International designers, journalists, and scholars, thirty-six of the most imaginative and elegantly executed CD-ROMS, Web sites, and computer games were chosen from an enormous body of recent work as the world's best in six categories: Art and Culture, Education, Family, Magazines, Promotional, and Reference. Captions for each entry discuss the methods and tools used to create these ingenious examples of screen interfaces.

A preface by renowned designer Neville Brody places interactive media within a historical perspective, and three introductory essays orient readers to the brave new world of hypertext, on-line design, and the nuts and bolts of CD-ROM development.
