Douglas Merritt headed the Thames Television Design Group and wrote this book at the precise moment digital tools were entering broadcast production. The result is a primary historical document rather than a manual — hundreds of colour stills and examples from studios worldwide, covering the full range of television graphic production from sports and drama to children's programming, at a time when the field had no established literature of its own.
Out of print and difficult to find, but significant for students interested in the history of motion graphics in broadcast. It records a transitional moment that is otherwise poorly documented.
