        			Praise for Kit Laybourne&apos;s previous book, The Animation Book: &quot;I read one chapter and then went and made a little film with my seven-year-old son. When he finally saw the thing moving and come to life, he giggled for a solid half hour. I love this book.&quot; --Peter Hastings, writer/producer of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain and creator of Disney&apos;s One Saturday Morning. &quot;This is a great book! The Animation Book is the perfect starter kit for anyone interested in entering the animation business or learning about the art of animation.&quot; -- Terry Thoren, CEO/President, Klasky Csupo Inc. &quot;The Animation Book is a classic. If you can afford to buy only one book on animation, this is the one to buy--it has it all.&quot; --Gunnar Wille, head of the animation department, The National Film School of Denmark &quot;Kit Laybourne is a leading voice in new media; this book brings his knowledge and insight to everyone.&quot;--Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum; author, Thinking with Type and Graphic Design: The New Basics &quot;In a world of customization and social networking, Kit Laybourne defines a new preoccupation: &apos;personal media.&apos; This is a digital &apos;do-it-yourself&apos; for all of us with a computer, a camera, and a desire to do more.&quot;--Paul Warwick Thompson, director, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum&quot;Kit Laybourne has created a vital and fun-reading &apos;do it yourself&apos; guide to communicating in the twenty-first century, with valuable insights, design tips, and creative activities for nondesigners (i.e., most of us).&quot;--Colleen Macklin, associate professor and former chair, Communication Design & Technology Department, Parsons The New School For Design &quot;At last, a book that humanizes the technologies we use to tell stories. With a calm bedside manner, Laybourne empowers anyone inclined to self-expression to champion their voice, vision, and talent.&quot;--Chee Pearlman, principle, Chee Company and former editor in chief, I.D. Magazine

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiration+technique+practice=Success
            
*by M***N on 4 February 2009*

At the moment the two people in our house are fighting for face time with this book. I got the first look-see, and loved it because in combines clear explanations of what were mysterious concepts to me, like layers and filters, with clear explanation of design principles with projects that stress the importance in any art of practice. Now techie hubbie is glued to it, going page by page. So I'll go play with mediapedia.com!
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A reference and an inspiration
            
*by L***N on 1 December 2008*

MEDIAPEDIA is a wonderful resource-- a tour of the creative frontiers of digital media... a collection of approaches and techniques each of which is a powerful tool... and a suite of demonstrations of creativity-in-practice.  Like THE WHOLE EARTH CATALOG, MEDIAPEDIA has the serendipituous joy-- and the extraordinary utility-- of a Swiss Army knife.  It's a delight that no student nor creative professional should be without.
  

### ⭐ Book for beginners
            
*by M***A on 30 January 2009*

I may have misread the description of this book, but I assumed it was an inspirational book for professional designers/photographers. I found it far too simplified with very little new information for me personally. It is probably great for beginning Photoshop and digital camera users.
