»Grids for the Dynamic Image«
Tanja Diezmann & Tobias Gremmler
AVA Publishing SA 2003

New technologies have enabled the screen designer to create moving imagery easily. Grids for the Dynamic Image provides the first comprehensive study of grid systems needed to bring order to the moving screen. As well as discussing the fundamental elements of space, volume and motion in time-based media, this book and accompanying CD-ROM examine more advanced grid system applications such as those which synchronise speech, sound and movement. This book serves both as design resource and educational reference, and will prove invaluable to anyone working in time-based media.
