Multimedia

Multimedia

The use of computers to present text, graphics, video, animation, and sound in an integrated way. Long touted as the future revolution in computing, multimedia applications were, until the mid-90s, uncommon due to the expensive hardware required. With increases in performance and decreases in price, however, multimedia is now commonplace. Nearly all PCs are capable of displaying video, though the resolution available depends on the power of the computer's video adapter and CPU. [2]

Multimedia design is a somewhat all-inclusive term. It became fashionable in the early days of CD-ROMs and now can be assigned to any type of graphic design that has an interactive design element or involves 3D or animation.

Multimedia applications can include Flash, Director and a number of 3D design packages. [1]
