When building a web site, it's tempting to throw in every multimedia element possible. It may show how technically adept you are, but the total effect ends up overwhelming without some careful design advice. The authors show you when and why to use sound, animation, graphics, video and interactivity for the most effective presentation. The focus is not so much on technical know-how as what you want to accomplish at your site and the best way to go about it. A CD-ROM for Windows and MAC is included which provides examples and shareware. For intermediate and advanced users.
