Interactive Media Design and Development with Adobe CS6

Inclusive Approach: While focusing on tools and processes from Adobe Creative Suite 6, the book also discusses lower-cost tools and open source software alternatives wherever appropriate to give students a complete perspective of possible design options.

Timeless Practices: A solid overview of interface design principles, as well as usability, accessibility, and copyright considerations presents processes and concepts that remain effective as software and applications continue to evolve.

Enlightening Features: "How We Did It" examples, "It's Your Turn" exercises, and "More to Explore" suggestions deliver media basics in text, visuals, animation, audio, and video while adding depth to chapter readings.

One-Person Workflow: The book's comprehensive guidelines for planning, designing, and managing an interactive media project help students create an actual project from start to finish, developing all components from scratch. This real-world experience develops hands-on, repeatable skills while demonstrating the thought processes involved in any successful, complex project.

Useful Strategies: Once students design an original interactive media project, applying the book's testing and marketing strategies helps them determine its potential viability in the real world.
