Broadcast design books

This is one of a series of reading lists I put together between 2002 and 2004 when I was starting out in interaction and experience design. This one is on motion graphics and broadcast design, a parallel craft I’d been working in, and one that feeds directly into time-based interaction work.
Richard Williams’s The Animator’s Survival Kit is the single essential craft book on the shelf, worth more than all the others combined. Bellantoni & Woolman’s Type in Motion is the theoretical book I kept returning to. The Meyers’ After Effects books were the practical manuals of the era; much of their content is now superseded.
The Amazon links below are what I had at the time, most will be dead now, but the ISBNs will find you a copy.
