Review: "In Dust or Magic, Bob Hughes delves deep beneath the gloss and the hype surrounding multimedia, to reveal the human beings who make magic, and to show how it happens. The book draws together a wealth of knowledge and experience, with insights from recent science and older creative industries, and reveals the key to designing accomplished interactive computer-based media. It presents a simple, consistent and convincing paradigm for satisfying and successful creative work, and gives practical advice that will save designers from falling into old traps and re-inventing perfectly good wheels." "Dust or Magic is for programmers, writers, artists, animators, and interface designers, for the people who teach, lead and hire them, and also for people who simply want to know how human creativity fares in the new, digital age."--BOOK JACKET.
