    The document discusses various aspects of using text and sound in multimedia, including font styles, sizes, and colors for text; considerations for writing hypertext such as chunking information and maintaining consistency; and audio fundamentals like frequency, bandwidth, formats like WAV, MP3, and MIDI, and compression codecs. Major purposes of text in multimedia are for titles, menus, navigation, and content, while cognitive overload should be avoided by limiting the amount of information presented.

    Jensen Carlo Ilagan Multimedia Building Blocks: Text and

    Sound
    CPET-3102
    Activity#1

    Text in Multimedia:
    Font - modified typeface
    Typeface - design of lettering

    Major purposes of text:


    Title, menu, navigation, and content.

    Cognitive Overload - Humans can’t handle so much information. We can only handle 7
    information.

    Font categories:
    Serif - decoration of letters
    Sans Serif - normal text or no design/ simple.

    Common font-styles:
    Bold and Italic

    Font Size - distance between the highest point


    Readability - text should be easy to read

    FOCUS - important information that must stand out

    Text Transformation:
    Shadowed Text
    Skewed Text
    Rotated Text
    Stretched Text

    Putting Text on Screens


    Location of text:
    Center - receives most attention
    Navigation - required to put in peripheral areas
    Bottom Right - gets the least amount of attention

    Font Color - when it comes to font color, dark background images must use a light color of font
    (vice-versa)
    Advantages of Hypertext
    -can place bookmarks,
    -can search for related documents,
    -audio, video and animation fragments can be added to hyper documents,
    -documents worldwide can be linked.

    Disadvantages of Hypertext
    -needs computer to access documents
    -Reading text on computer is more difficult on a paper
    -If navigation aid are not provided, heavy cognitive load is placed in the reader

    Navigations Strategies:
    1.Breadth First - it’s like “first come, first serve”.
    2.Depth First - it’s like “last come, first serve”.
    3.Random - wherever you want to start.

    Consideration for writing hypertext:


    1. Chunking - compiling the information that is related to one another.
    2. Interrelationship - each document contains links to other documents.
    3. Simplicity in navigation - simple and consistent.
    4. Screen design - screen should be designed so that information can easily be understood.
    5. Low cognitive load - avoiding overloading information.
    6. Maintain multiple perspectives - thinking that the user can use it or understand it as easily
    as you can.
    7. Consistency of document names - helps you to find the links when they are created.
    Making a list of nodes.
    8. Master reference list - to prevent missing citations,
    9. Early reviews - review it as early as possible to avoid errors.

    Sound - a key component in communication


    Sound - decibels.
    Content sound - contains information.
    Ambient sound - Background noise.
    Frequency - the number of crests may occur within a second.
    Frequency - Hz.
    Wavelength - the distance from the midpoint of one crest to the midpoint of the next crest.
    Dopper effect - the farther the distance, the lower the sound you receive.
    Bandwidth - difference between highest and lowest frequency.
    Digital audio - sound heard by the ear is analog in nature and is a continuous wave form.
    Digitization - process of assigning discrete value of given sample values.
    Fidelity - difference between real voice and recorded.

    Sound format and settings


    Mono - one channel to 1 or more speaker/s
    Stereo - one is to one.

    Audio file format - file format for storing audio on a computer system.
    Wave (.wav) - uncompressed audio on pc.
    Mp3 - compressed audio, processed.
    Real audio (.ra)- used by internet radio users.
    Midi(.mid) - example of this is karaoke on yt, applications (real drums.)
    Windows media(.wma) - similar to MP3 but made by Microsoft.
    Codec - is the tool used to encode signals.
