F r das Management von Multimediaprojekten gab es bisher keine unternehmens bergreifenden, praxistauglichen Vorgehensmodelle, die auf spezifische Probleme der Multimediabranche zugeschnitten sind. Vorgehensmodelle aus anderen Bereichen, wie etwa der Informatik, ber cksichtigen nicht das hohe Gewicht gestalterischer und wirtschaftlicher, marketingorientierter Aufgaben in Multimediaprojekten. Das vorliegende Buch leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag, die in vielen Agenturen eher noch ad hoc gef hrten Projekte besser planbar und steuerbar zu machen. Die Autorin analysiert Vorgehensweisen und Methoden, die in der Praxis zur Schaffung kreativer Multimedia-Konzepte eingesetzt werden, und entwickelt diese zu einem allgemeing ltigen Vorgehensmodell weiter. Zur Erfassung der branchen blichen Vorgehensweisen f hrte die Autorin eine empirische Untersuchung in mehreren repr sentativen Multimedia-Agenturen durch.

Make designing and developing accessible websites fun and straightforward by deciphering information that is often confusing. This book examines how web professionals can ensure a website is as accessible as it can be, meeting the needs of its audience.  The main focus is on web accessibility and, WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 guidelines: what they are, who they are for, and what can be done from a design point of view to make the lives of the users easier. In reviewing the fundamentals, emphasis will be given on what disabilities could potentially prevent users from getting the information they need and what can be done to help them. This is achieved by breaking down web design and development terms and practices, such as web accessibility, color contrast, typography, how to design specific components like carousels, forms, and so on.   Each chapter features design examples presented in a clear and concise manner. Each design element is divided into different components, highlighting exactly what helps with what, showing how a website needs to be designed for the benefit of its people. A11Y Unraveled also reviews the current laws and legislations that govern web accessibility in different parts of the world. What You'll Learn Discover how people perceive information on the web, and how that might create barriers in communication. Review different disabilities or limitations that prevent users from accessing web information and how to address them. Design an accessible website for specific disabilities through practical examples. Understand how different web design components affect the user. Study current web accessibility legislation, avoiding difficult to understand lingo. Who This Book Is For Main audience would be digital and web professionals (mainly designers but developers can benefit as well). It can also help business owners who want to ensure their websites are adhere to accessibility standards.

This book provides a broad introduction to search engines by integrating five different perspectives on Web search and search engines that are usually dealt with separately: the technical perspective, the user perspective, the internet-based research perspective, the economic perspective, and the societal perspective. After a general introduction to the topic, two foundational chapters present how search tools can cover the Web's content and how search engines achieve this by crawling and processing the found documents. The next chapter on user behavior covers how people phrase their search queries and interact with search engines. This knowledge builds the foundation for describing how results are ranked and presented. The following three chapters then deal with the economic side of search engines, i.e., Google and the search engine market, search engine optimization (SEO), and the intermingling of organic and sponsored search results. Next, the chapter on search skills presents techniques for improving searches through advanced search interfaces and commands. Following that, the Deep Web and how its content can be accessed is explained. The two subsequent chapters cover ways to improve the quality of search results, while the next chapter describes how to access the Deep Web. Last but not least, the following chapter deals with the societal role of search engines before the final chapter concludes the book with an outlook on the future of Web search. With this book, students and professionals in disciplines like computer science, online marketing, or library and information science will learn how search engines work, what their main shortcomings are at present, and what prospects there are for their further development. The different views presented will help them to understand not only the basic technologies but also the implications the current implementations have concerning economic exploitation and societal impact.
