Résumé

As new media evolve, many designers will increasingly find themselves working in digital media. As they do, they will discover that existing skills cannot simply be transferred from print to screen-based design. Digital media has meant modifying established approaches to design and formulating a new set of rules. The E-Design series will show designers how to adapt their traditional skills to meet the demands of the new technology. Combining exciting graphics with informative text, these books will become indispensable tools for both students and professionals alike.

Digital media is a multifaceted and constantly developing area. Whether at the level of planning, conception, usability design or programming, each stage requires an understanding of some fundamental concepts, and each can be assessed and discussed in some detail. This book focuses on questions related to design and so contributes to the decoding of this complex topic. As a component in observing digital media it centres on exciting and informative aspects, which help in understanding fundamental interconnections - while at the same time opening our eyes to the possibilities. The structure of this book follows three perspectives on layout: the design, the system and the experience. These perspectives are not arranged according to the process, but rather are devoted to the different areas under discussion.

L'auteur - David Skopec

The future belongs to integrated media environments, where different types of media interact and complement each other. This was one of David Skopec's basic principles when he founded studio kognito in 1994 - a team of designers working on multiple projects in the fields of new media, information and corporate design. Furthermore, he has been very active in teaching since 1993, at the University of Arts in Berlin, the Universidad De Las Americas in Puebla, Mexico and the Academy of Visual Arts, Leipzig, among others. He has also held workshops and lectures in Europe, USA, Mexico and Japan. David Skopec promotes a fundamental understanding of visual systems as a systemic approach to media, design and communication.
