Abstract

Before entering the Computer Graphic Design program at Rochester Institute of Technology, I had been a graphic designer for a good many years. The introduction of the computer drastically changed the nature of the graphics arts industry, and in watching the rapidly changing technology, I realized that these new developments broadened and diversified the range of design possibilities. Embracing the computer as a design tool, and as a new means of communicating, I set about selecting a thesis topic that would allow me to explore and master these new tools. In selecting a topic, I was intrigued by the ability of the computer to allow a user to interact with, and absorb information. I became interested in a multimedia approach to educational materials, and originally chose to develop a prototype for an interac tive multimedia program accompanied by a companion magazine that would challenge my skills as a designer in a new area, and develop sensitivities as an educator.
