About this title

Synopsis

Learn from the Disney Imagineers

Creativity. Innovation. Success. That's Disney Imagineering. It was the Imagineers who brought Walt Disney's dreams to life. Now you can tap into the principles of Imagineering to make your personal and professional dreams come true.

Even if you're not building a theme park, the Imagineering Pyramid can help you plan and achieve any creative goal. Lou Prosperi designed the pyramid from the essential building blocks of Disney Imagineering. He teaches you how to apply the pyramid to your next project, how to execute each step efficiently and creatively, and most important, how to succeed.

The Imagineering Pyramid is a revolutionary creative framework that anyone can use in their daily lives, whether at home or on the job. Prosperi shares with you:

• How to use "The Art of the Show" to stay focused on your mission.
• Practical tutorials for each of the fifteen building blocks that make up the pyramid.
• Creative Intent, Theming, "Read"-ability, Kinetics, Plussing, and other Imagineering concepts.
• Imagineering beyond the berm: how to apply the pyramid to fields as diverse as game design and executive leadership.
• An "Imagineering Library" of books to further your studies.

About the Author

Lou Prosperi spent 10 years working in the game industry as a freelance game designer and writer, as well as a product line developer at FASA Corporation, where he worked on the Earthdawn roleplaying game. After leaving FASA Corporation, Lou went to work as a technical writer and instructional designer and has been in that role for the last 15 years, writing user and technical documentation and training materials for enterprise software applications. He currently manages a small team of technical writers and curriculum developers for a small business unit of a large enterprise software company.

Lou has been interested in (or obsessed with, depending on who you ask) Disney parks since his first visit to Walt Disney World on his honeymoon in 1993. A self-described "student of Imagineering", Lou has been collecting books about the Disney company, Disney parks, and Imagineering for the last 10+ years. Lou rarely passes up an opportunity to add new books to his Disney and Imagineering libraries, and is nearly always thinking about his next trip to Walt Disney World. He lives in Wakefield, Massachusetts, with his wife and children.
