New media is like a giant jigsaw puzzle; a combination of different skills and media.nbsp; We know all about the pieces, but the biggest problem is putting them all together to get the ¿big picture¿ of new media design.nbsp; Design for New Media gives a unified approach to looking at the area, covering both the separate elements, and putting them in the context of new media design as a whole.nbsp;The book is divided into four sections;nbsp; The first section considers some of the issues that arise from designing with new and developing technology.nbsp; The author then moves on to look at the ¿building blocks¿ of new media (sound, colour and animation), and their role in the design of a new media product is explained.nbsp; The third section covers interaction design andnbsp;nbsp; those elements of new media that are connected with the use and understanding of the product.nbsp; Finally, the process of design itself is considered in a practical way;nbsp; how do you take that first step in designing a new media product?
