From films and television to apps and videogames, it holds together a multitude of media and shapes the way they are accessed, organised, created, consumed, and manipulated. However, it does not do so without leaving viscous traces, and \u003ci\u003eGooey Media: Screen Entertainment and the Graphic User Interface\u003c\/i\u003e examines this residue and its consequences, revealing how the GUI exerts a powerful influence on contemporary media.\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on aesthetics and adopting a media agnostic approach, Jones explores cinema, streaming platforms, television, user-generated content, videogames, apps, virtual reality, VFX, design software, and more in order to show how they cross-pollinate with one another and with our desktop interfaces. The result is a new approach for analysing convergent media in the digital era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399522779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399522779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Nick Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906744996095,"sku":"9781399522779","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a88ac7d9-b459-4a71-94b7-c913b8239b43.jpg?v=1748771299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gooey-media-nick-jones-9781399522779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
