In Designing Infographics, author Eric K. Meyer teaches you how to create charts, tables, graphs, maps, diagrams, and sequences that successfully sum up, clarify, and visualize data. You learn how to think visually and present information honestly, and when to use certain types of graphics. Meyer explains how to decide how vivid the graphic should be, how to organize your data in the graphic, and what sort of data metaphor to use. There's an overview of major Windows and Macintosh drawing programs, such as Macromedia FreeHand and Adobe Illustrator, and useful instruction on creating graphics. Meyer also touches on copyright issues and Web graphics. This is a great hands-on book for artists and designers who need to create successful infographics.

Newsletter writes itself.......2000-10-06
This book (and the inclosed diskette) makes the production of a professional-looking newsletter extremely easy. Just load it into your word processor and start answering the questions. Delete the questions and you will discover that you have written the text... painlessly. I have tried writing newsletters from templates in my word processor and the results were blah. My first newsletter using this book had members of my organization calling me to tell me how great it looked. Needless to say, I took ALL the credit.
Newsletters Made Simple.......2000-03-21
Even as an experienced newsletter editor, I was very impressed with "Quick and Easy Newsletters". It really covers all the bases. I had my doubts about the author's claim that anyone with no experience would be able to do a newsletter in one afternoon. But after reading through it (and trying out the templates on the CD) I'm convinced it's not only possible but highly likely! The book covers design AND content. It takes you step-by-step through the entire process. Now when people want me to help them do their newsletter, I recommend they buy this book.

Customer Reviews:
Highly recommended book.......2006-09-05
This book is a great resource to get introduced into the information graphics field and to brush up on your skills in order to make clean, concise news graphics. Everything you need to help you understand what the business is all about is explained in a clear, easy-to-understand format. For classrooms, the author helps you structure your lessons wonderfully, and for professionals, she reminds you what to strive for.
Classroom/newsroom/workshop.......2006-08-23
This book is great for the young reporter just getting started and as a reference in the newsroom. I especially recommend it to introductory and intermediate graphics programs at journalism schools everywhere!
Great place to start.......2006-08-03
Confused about how to conceptualize and execute information graphics? For journalists and graphic artists alike, this book is an invaluable resource for how to bring the two crafts together. The author takes care to provide real world examples that are clear and to-the-point and illustrate the topics at hand. This is an invaluable resource for small and medium-sized newsrooms in particular, as well as classrooms or individuals wanting to brush up on the state of the art of news graphics presentation.
A must have for both novices and experts.......2006-06-15
This book is clean, simple, easy to understand. It's full of examples from daily graphics to large-scale graphics media thrive on. But, best of all, it gets right to the point of explaining why those graphics work. If you're an expert, you should get a copy as a reminder of what to shoot for and help check your work. If you're a student, you need one.

Learn How To Create Better Newsletters!.......2002-04-13
Online newsletters have become big news in recent years. Companies large and small, for-profit and non-profit organizations, news services, religious ministries, and many special interest groups now produce their own online newsletters for distribution to their targeted audiences.
Newsletter Editor's Handbook by Arth, Ashmore, and Floyd (not a legal firm), is a quick guide to publishing effective online and printed newsletters. Readers will learn about writing for the Internet, news writing, conducting interviews, copyright laws, style guides, legal concerns, grammar, desktop publishing concepts, marketing, and how best to distribute their newsletters.
The book features plentiful information on gathering news and how best to publish it. Instruction about developing content stands out as one of the key benefits of the book. Readers will learn about the kinds of information that can be shared in newsletters - such as news, meeting information, feature stories, editorials, opinion columns, reports, biographical profiles, history, book reviews, letters to the editor, announcements, press releases, comics and cartoons, and promotional items.
Readers will develop a greater appreciation for the roles that newsletters, editors, and writers in general have in creating and sharing information. They will also learn how to write good content. This book would make a great addition to any writer's library. It would also make a excellent workshop course book for producing newsletters!
Book Description
If you're a cutting-edge Web developer who wants to create interactive, user-friendly sites that will transform the way people work with the Web, you've probably heard about Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX. By incorporating streaming media, real-time collaboration, and multi-way video, audio, and text messaging into one server solution, Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX enables you to easily add features like shared live white boards, multi-way chat screens, and video conferencing to your sites. The best part? It's all delivered through the Macromedia Flash Player so viewers don't have to open multiple applications.
Reality Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX: Strategic Solutions for Online Interaction is the only book to give you a behind-the-scenes look at developing real-world FlashCom projects that are practical, cost-effective solutions. As part of the development team you're privy to the memos, notes, work-flow, planning, and process charts that are included in a real development process. Over the course of the book you'll learn to build entire applications (which are included on the book's companion CD-ROM) using both client-side and server-side Communication ActionScript. Different design ideas are presented and either accepted or rejected, and discussions about usability, HCI, and bandwidth realities are revealed so that you'll come away with a clear idea of what to expect in development as well as strategies to overcome those challenges.

Bad, poor, and worst.......2005-06-16
Got this book for free from a friend.Hmm..I wondered why he gave me the book for free.Didn't know until one of my current research's requirements is Flash Comm Server MX.Flipped through the book and I'd have to say:Ewwww..programmers...stay away from this book!!!!It's not worth your money.
This book really good for ... CTO.......2005-01-25
Yeah, that's right, CTO only need to know what the FlashComm can do, how they do, but doesn't really need to get dirty like all the programmers out there. So if you are CTO go and get this book, if you want to get dirty with FlashComm then stay away from this book. If you want to buy this book in "mint" condition, please contact me (vht@rocketmail.com), I will place this book on ebay for just 10USD.
this is not a good enough book for me.......2004-12-28
i have a few points that may be valuable for those who are looking for really professional flashcom books:
1. the example files that come from this book's website work very poorly due to lack of programming considerations within the book itself. some applications fail to run on the second run because something is wrong with the programming used on the flashcom side or client-side, and the applications simply won't start unless u reload the applications from the server.
2. the book does not go thoroughly enough with flashcom applications such as user management in a video conference, and server-side scripts that are required for handling issues such as user log on/off, userid, etc.
3. although the book goes to teach real life solutions, but it barely touches the core concept of flashcom applications. i can only comment that this book is on the rim of a glass.
i hope my points will be helpful for those who are looking for a really good flashcom books...
Programming Indeed.......2003-11-25
Maybe I'm not a typical FlashCom user as far a programming background is concerned. I'm a Java programmer with a little experience in Flash. I don't write reviews because I don't believe most of the ones I read anyway and this one is simply in response to one of this book that was factually inaccurate.
I've looked at 2 or 3 books that have some information about FlashCom, and this is the best by far. The reason I like this book is because it is pure programming. It contains no FlashCom components at all. Period. I have no idea why a reviewer would say otherwise. (Maybe he's confused this book with another book.)
Coming from Java, I thought FlashCom would be a piece of cake. It is not (despite what a favorable review claims). You need to coordinate ActionScript, Client-side ActionScript and Server-side ActionScript. I liked the real-world examples in this book and each of the five applications brought together the different versions of ActionScript. The authors used procedural programming rather than OOP. However, in going over the code (and adding my own changes)it is not poorly structured.
I am not a big fan of this book's format. It goes through the details of dealing with clients, which in my work, I avoid. (We have reps that do that.) I wish that space had been used for more scripts and apps. However, the processes described are real and people who like that kind of stuff will like the book.
Like I said, THIS BOOKS CONTAINS NO FlashCom components, and I'd hate to see it passed over because of a wildly inaccurate review.
As a programmer, I thought this book was awful.......2003-11-25
I researched a few books online covering FCS and was sold on this one after reading the high reviews. I purchased the book and went through the entire thing in about an hour and gained nothing more than what I have learned from the Macromedia documentation and online resource center. NOTE: I was going into this expecting to learn more about how Flash and Flash Comm Server work together to better code applications between them. This book shows a few simple examples of how to use the built-in components. I strongly recommend NOT buying this book. I was was surprised to see all the high ratings when I came back to add my review, so be sure to read those as I am one of the few that is dissatisfied with this book.

Book Description
The internet by its very nature is fluid and dynamic. Sites come and go, change, and even fold into one another. Technological changes are constant and the look of the web changes daily as a result. Following the success of New Internet Design Project and New Internet Design Project: Reloaded, this new book showcases the best of the world's most current and innovative web-sites. Each site is profusely illustrated, the software, technology and design techniques underlying them are explored, and the designers whose work is shown chime in on their vision for the future of the web and graphic design's place in it. The underlying theme of the book is the search for a new visual language for the web which is not looking back to print-or video-based models, but forward to a purely digital one. New Internet Design Project 3 is an inspirational and thought-provoking book for web designers, programmers and anyone involved in graphic design and multimedia.

Graphic Communications, The Printed Image.......2000-07-01
As a college level educator and graphic arts/electronic prepress professional, I highly recommend Z.A. Prust's "Graphic Communications, The Printed Image". It is easy for students to understand and is a wonderful teaching tool. The book explains all of the important aspects of working in the print industry. The only reason that I didn't give this book 5 stars is that it is a little outdated, but I hear Prust is publishing an updated version that will be out soon. I'm looking forward to using it with my students!
