978-1-350-10493-8 (ISBN)
Assistant Professor David Leicester Hardy uses his years as a teacher and professional designer to provide exercises, activities and instruction so you can make connections and become familiar with topics from:
- User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI) and Interaction Design (IxD)
- Animation and motion graphics
- Virtual (VR), augmented (AR) and mixed reality
Mirroring the real multidisciplinary approaches of digital designers, this book will help you work fluidly and efficiently, whatever the project.
David Leicester Hardy is an assistant professor at James Madison University in Virginia and is a multidisciplinary graphic designer working in web, interactive, print-based, and motion graphics design.
