Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even if you are not a web designer or interactive media creator, the book "Managing Interactive Media Projects " by Tim Frick, is a great resource. I use this book in my college-level web design introductory class and it is a God-send. This book breaks down the complete creative process for you and is replete with comprehensive and practical advice -- as well as great case studies that illustrate what can go right or wrong.Reading this book will help you to understand many phases of the project management process, such as:

* Managing projects
* Conceptualizing an idea and initial planning
* Proposal writing
* Defining from your project specification
* Understanding different design processes that are effected by content
* Presenting your ideas to the client
* Flowcharting your idea
* Creating scripts and asset lists
* Art direction
* The revision process, approvals, scope and feature creep
* Design production
* Production and programming
* Testing, revision tracking and quality assurance

All projects, no matter what type of media, have specific logic-flow or development order from its inception (idea) to completion. All of the above concepts go through specific cycles, whether you follow an "ADDIE" or Agile routine ------ this book works. Frick's book helps you to understand the process within the process ------ it's a great investment.
