Pioneer of aesthetic passion

Article Abstract:

April Greiman is known for her heretical method of graphic arts design. She shakes up the field by throwing out conventions, stating that past methods are dead. She is particularly interested in the possibilities of the nascent interactive CD-ROM field, which she feels creates a whole new environment that will demand new design thinking and terminology. She is now working on a CD-ROM called 'Infinite Illusions: A History of Computer Graphics.'
