4 out of 5 stars A great resource   April 18, 2002
Annesa Hartman (Saxtons River, VT United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As an instructor of computer graphics software, I find Creating Web Graphics, Audio and Video an excellent learning resource for my students. The book provides an ample mix of historical summaries on innovative technologies, from Photoshop to browser protocols, and methodical lab exercises and explanations on just about every topic a web designer/developer needs to know for a well-rounded repertoire.


2 out of 5 stars Too Much Paper for Content.   December 24, 2002
Thierry (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
I have to admit I haven't read it all but browsed it enough to see that the subjects are not treated deeply enough and that there is a great deal of paper for nothing.

This 600 pages book could have been delivered at below 400 with the same content and font size.

Each 2 pages chapter, is followed a 1.5 page lab which asks questions with big space to enter answers (as if we would start writing our answers in the book.) Following, the questions are REPEATED along with the answers to them. What a waste of paper!

It's a very general overview of the different medias that does not really answer most questions. Could be nice for a web graphics 101 course, but not alone for sure. I'm happy I did not buy and could pull it from the library.


1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money   August 24, 2003
I agree with the previous reviewer ... the book is a good size in pages only ... what is on the pages is a waste. I would recommend this book to is someone who does not know a thing about web graphics and has the time to read 600 pages for an overview of the different technologies.
