Only then can they communicate their ideas to others, and therefore collaborate. Media and the Creative Process was designed to get you, the future media artist, to think about how artists from other platforms think about their work. Whether you create animation, games, narrative and documentary video, sound design projects, or music, this book is the first step toward being able to share your vision with others.
