“Design adds value faster than it adds costs.” – Joel Spolsky

It’s difficult to imagine our lives and surroundings without the existence of Multimedia Design

Throughout our everyday lives, we encounter design everywhere; the advertisement on the billboard that caught your eyes when you’re driving on the highway,  the video you came across on social media that is easy on the eyes, even your phone and your computer interface — all of them, they involve design.

So how exactly are the ideas produced and who is in charge of designing them? Here’s a quick walkthrough on Multimedia Design.

What is Multimedia?

Multimedia is the field that revolves around computer generated integration of text, graphics, drawing, still and moving images, animation, audio and other media where information can be delivered, stored and processed digitally.

Basic Elements of Multimedia

  1. Text – Characters that are used to create words, sentences, and paragraphs. 
  2. Graphic – A digital representation of non-textual information, such as a drawing, chart, or photograph.
  3. Animation – Flipping through a series of still images. It is a series of graphics that create an illusion of motion.
  4. Video – Photographic images that are played back at speeds of 15 to 30 frames a second and provide the appearance of full motion. 
  5. Audio – Music, speech, or any other sound.
