Web Publishing With Quarkimmedia: The Ultimate Guide to Designing Interactive Multimedia

Web Publishing With QuarkImmedia: The Ultimate Guide to Designing Interactive Multimedia is an in-depth guide to using QuarkImmedia, the multimedia development tool. QuarkImmedia is an add-in to the Macintosh version of QuarkXPress, providing users of this high-end desktop publishing package with the tools necessary for creating interactive multimedia projects for the Web, intranets, CD-ROMs, or corporate presentations. (The QuarkImmedia Viewer, which lets you run such projects, is available for both Macintosh and Windows).

Many QuarkImmedia users will likely know QuarkXPress but won't necessarily know much about multimedia production. Realizing that, authors Roger Sperberg and Martha Leinroth provide a thorough introduction to basic QuarkImmedia and multimedia activities and concepts, moving on gradually to complicated tasks such as scripting and providing plenty of screen shots and advice along the way. The authors discuss the essentials of creating a project with events and objects and explain how to add transitions, pages, hot-text links, sound, animations, buttons, and movies. You can also learn how to change and make cursors, create Window and Text Box objects, use menus and key commands, and print and export your project. An included CD-ROM includes practice files for following along with exercises in the book.
