1a Multimedia refers to content that uses multiple forms of media, such as text,

images, audio, video, and interactivity, to convey information, tell a story, or


entertain. It combines different media elements to create a rich and engaging
experience.

Traditional media, on the other hand, typically uses a single medium, such as:
- Print (text and images)
- Radio (audio)
- Television (video and audio)
- Film (video and audio)

The key differences between multimedia and traditional media are:


1. Multiple media elements: Multimedia combines multiple media elements,
while traditional media uses a single medium.
2. Interactivity: Multimedia often allows user interaction, while traditional
media is typically passive.
3. Non-linearity: Multimedia can be non-linear, allowing users to navigate and
explore content in different ways, while traditional media is often linear.
4. Digital vs. analog: Multimedia is typically digital, while traditional media can
be analog or digital.
5. Immersion: Multimedia can create a more immersive experience due to the
combination of media elements and interactivity.

1b Multimedia has a wide range of application areas, including:


1. Education and Training: Interactive learning materials, online courses, and
educational software.
2. Entertainment: Movies, video games, virtual reality (VR) and augmented

3a Web authoring is the practice of creating web documents using modern web
authoring software and tools.

Web-authoring tools can be divided into three main categories:


1 Text editors and
2 WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors.
3 Content Management Systems (CMS).

3b Here’s a clear distinction between a story, a script, and a storyteller:


- A story is the actual narrative of “Cinderella”.
- A script is the written document outlining the dialogue and actions for a film
adaptation of “Cinderella”.
- A storyteller is the person who tells the story of “Cinderella” to an audience,
either through oral tradition or performance.

4a Visual communication refers to the process of conveying information, ideas,


or messages through visual elements such as images, graphics, videos, or objects.

We need visual communication because:


1. Humans process visual information faster than text
2. Visuals can simplify complex concepts and data
3. Visual communication can reach a wider audience
4. It enhances creativity and innovation
5. It supports diverse learning styles and abilities

4b Web design refers to the design of websites. It usually refers to the user
experience aspects of website development rather than software development

1 Layout
The layout of the website is how the material is displayed on a page. Choosing the
layout is an essential task for the designer.
2 Images
Images are illustrations, graphics, photographs, icons and others used to provide
supplementary information to the text.
3 Visual hierarchy
Visual hierarchy is the order in which the user will process the information on the
site.
4 Color scheme
The color scheme is a combination of colors that is in harmony with the brand and
industry it represents.
5 Typography
The typography is the style or font of the written content. Web designers pick one
or a combination that is attractive and easy to read.
6 Readability
Readability is when the text of content is easy to see and read on a webpage.
7 Navigation
The navigational elements are the tools allowing users to choose where they want
to go within a website.
8 Content
Content is all of the information available on the website.

5a
1 Goal identification
2 Scope definition
3 Sitemap and wireframe creation
4 Content creation
5 Visual elements
6 Testing
7 Launch

5b
A presentation is a way of communicating an idea to an audience by speech,
slideshow, or other visual aids.

Video communication refers to the transmission of information via live video


streaming or through video sharing. With this form of communication,
information senders and recipients are able to interact using both audio and
video.

A project report is a comprehensive document that provides detailed information


about a specific project. It typically outlines the project’s objectives, scope,
methodology, progress, findings, and outcomes.

Graphics design and illustration:
Graphic design is the art of composing visual elements — such as typography,
images, colors, and shapes — to communicate information or convey a message
effectively. Designing the layout of a magazine, creating a poster for a theatre
performance, and designing packaging for a product are all examples of graphic
design

Graphic illustration is art found on flyers, fabrics, book jackets, advertisements,


packaging, posters, and websites. It helps express visual ideas, convey messages,
sell products, teach students, and promote brands.

What Are the Basic Elements of Graphic Design?
Line, shape, form, texture, space, imagery, typography and color.

Line
Described as the building blocks of design, lines can be continuous or broken,
straight or curved, smooth or zigzagged and beyond, and are used for more than
just outlines or dividing up content.

Shape
You’ll often use lines to create your own shapes. They can be geometric (usually
drawn with computers or rulers) or organic (usually found in nature and drawn
freehand).

Form
Making your shape three dimensional gives it form, which is another essential
element of graphic design. Just like shape, you can have organic or geometric
forms and these create very different impacts—geometric forms tend to convey
order and can seem sterile, while organic forms feel more natural.

Texture
The surface quality of your designs is called texture, and it can bring another
dimension to your piece.

Space
You’ll need to think about both positive space (the focus of the design) and
negative space (the background) while creating your assets. You can be really
creative with this: it’s possible to use positive space in a way that recedes as your
eyes track down the design, or to draw the eye towards a shape in the
background with negative space.

Imagery
If an image is worth a thousand words, knowing how to use them wisely will let
you deliver the message in a more effective way.

Typography
Many designs include some kind of copy on them, which means typography is
another basic element of graphic design that you need to understand.
