文档介绍：Writing for Multimedia and the Web
Garrand’s Writing for Multimedia and the Web is the best textbook I’ve found for
examining the theory and practice of multimedia writing. The text is straightfor-
ward, and the case studies and tools facilitate student achievement. I’ve tried several
other texts for my Writing for Multimedia course, but I always return to Garrand.
His book sets the standard in the field.
—Michael Huntsberger, ., University of Oregon
Writing for Multimedia and the Web is really working well for a college course I
teach titled, “Writing and Interactive Design.” I have used the text for more than
5 years and it is the best book overall that I have seen that is a good balance of
application and theory.

Writing for Multimedia and the Web is a book for rank beginners and experienced
professionals alike, for the neophyte student or the traditional media writers who
want to expand their skills. Teachers will find it invaluable as a text and schol-
ars will appreciate the way Garrand integrates theory with application. How can he
plish so much for such a varied audience? With a smart balance of interviews,
explanation, and examples. The novice can work his way through from the begin-
ning, where Garrand, patiently supplies a inct overview of the field, replete
with definitions and an easy to understand description of where the media writer
fits into this dizzying process. The veteran writer, on the other hand, will enjoy the
first hand accounts and insights about approaches and processes from the numerous
writers that Garrand interviewed for his book.
Tim Garrand’s Writing for Multimedia and the Web continues to be the “must
have” book for any writer, aspiring or otherwise, student or teacher interested in
this burgeoning field.
