Best of category
Article Abstract:
Two stand-alone media which are delivered on a CD-ROM, the 'Neverhood' and the 'Body Voyage: A Three-Dimensional Trip Through A Real Human Body, and a web site, entitled the 'Word' were chosen as the 'Best Category' winners. The 'Neverhood,' a computer game set in claymation kingdom gone wild, combines craftsmanship and charm, while the 'Body Voyage' shows that the interactive media can be a teacher by presenting a three-dimensional digital cadaver. The 'Word' on the other hand, is a web-based magazine geared to show nonfiction and ordinary people in extraordinary settings.

Stand and deliver
Article Abstract:
Web sites which are overcommercialized, idiotic and substandard make the interactive media less appealing, insignificant and futile. These observations make the once called 'multimedia technology' incomparable with the former because of its entries which are always associated with either art or passion. To repair the damage unsold and unused CD-ROMS do, good interactive designs need to be an interplay of many standard disciplines, such as user interface design, software programming, symbolics, psychology and architecture.

Multimedia: waiting for the future
Article Abstract:
The varying needs and growing demands of multimedia users have motivated multimedia developers to manufacture a wider variety of multimedia software. For instance, while the majority of multimedia software is designed primarily for Macintosh and PC-based interaction, other formats related to stereo home entertainment are gaining increasing popularity. The proliferation of more books and catalogues employing the CD-ROM format seeks to produce a creative integration of form and content among multimedia presentations.
