Finding and researching books that deal with the artistic as well as technical aspects of current Digital Media experience can be challenging.
In my search to discover books relevant to the Digital Design and Advertising course I have come to a few conclusions concerning relevancy. New texts continue to flood the market place. However most do not have reviews on them so they are therefore useless. How do I fix the problem? I get free copies from publishers :-) (its a teaching perk).
The most current Multimedia text to come out in regards to the actual artistic outcome is Digital Multimedia, 2nd Edition by Nigel Chapman, Jenny Chapman "Designed as the foundation text in multimedia, this book covers basic principles of each media type - text, graphics, audio, animation and video - describing their digitization and progressing onto issues that arise when media are combined; interaction provided by scripting and multimedia distributed over networks - principally the web.
This edition completely updates content to address the XHTML standard and to add appropriate weight to XML content. There will be a web/Flash emphasis and proper coverage of MPEG4 and DVD in line with current technology trends." Look for the book on Amazon.com the ISBN# is 0-470-85890-7
