DMK aims to develop a leading edge research culture around its postgraduate programmes and enterprise activities.  Key to this activity is the dissemination and impact of staff research outputs which can take many forms; from written journal papers and books to digitally interactive installations and products.

DMKs Lawrence Zeegen's fifth book – Complete Digital Illustration (Rotovision) is now available to purchase. The book reflects upon the diverse range of image-making practice that thrives today. Complete Digital Illustration reveals the secrets of the industry's most successful creatives who transfer traditional illustrative skills into digital dimensions, producing the highest quality, most commercially successful animation, three-dimensional, and vector-based illustration.

DMKs Frank Millward's latest publication 'Developing Moving Images for the Multimedia Performance ‘From Anger to Sadness’' – Representation, Interpretation and Perception is included in Performing Technology: User Content and the New Digital Media: Insights from the 2009 Symposium. This volume emerged out of the discussions during the 2009 edition of the Two Thousand + symposia series at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Belfast. In 2009 the symposium focused on user-generated content and it is the refined and reworked writings that have been included in this volume. The texts in this book cover the development of design strategies for addressing rich media environments that incorporate user-generated, locative content. Chapters cover areas such as choreography/dance, virtual worlds, music performance, network music and computer games.
