"Text, images, sound, video and animation can all be represented in digital form. When two or more of these digital media are combined into an integrated whole, with the added element of interactivity provided by computer systems, we have multimedia." "Digital Multimedia combines a wide and deep account of technology with an inside understanding of multimedia content and its practical applications." "As well as end of chapter exercises, the book includes a chapter of detailed suggestions for substantial projects, with commentary on the design issues raised."--Jacket
