Abstract (Abstract): "The Digital Designer: The Graphic Artist's Guide to New Media" by Steven Heller and
Daniel Drennan is reviewed.
Full text: THE DIGITAL DESIGNER: THE GRAPHIC ARTIST'S GUIDE TO NEW MEDIA by Steven Heller and
Daniel Drennan (Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1997, $29.95). Thoughtfully boiling down the past five
years' worth of new media design analysis and criticism, authors Steven Heller and Daniel Drennan have set
out to define the multiform role of the graphic designer in the digital world. The book's first half concentrates on
multimedia's evolution and components, drawing on conceptual, technical and project examples to characterize
the elements involved in creating digital media, while the second and more provocative half presents 17
interviews with a range of leading new media designers (Razorfish's Thomas Miller and Craig Kanarick, IDEO's
Peter Spreenberg and new media artist Marianne R. Petit among them). Here, readers can learn from
practitioners about their beginnings, processes, failures and successesall with specific illustrated examples.
Whether you're looking to break into the industry or you're already there, the diverse range of voices found here
offers a wealth of insight. MELISSA DALLAL
