IntroductionThe Multimedia Revolution
Desktop multimedia is transforming the role personal computers play in our businesses and homes. Until recently, we used computers to process data and design printed materials - activities that improved our productivity. With desktop multimedia, we're using computers to inform, entertain, educate, or persuade an audience. Personal computers now act as a communications medium as well as a productivity tool. The emergence of desktop multimedia reflects our need for effective tools to manage the volume of information we encounter daily. For today?s communicators, shaping messages that command attention takes more than clever writing and a few attractive pictures. Desktop multimedia provides a richer set of options to appeal to audiences overwhelmed by the proliferation of information. However desktop multimedia also represents a fundamental shift in how we conceive and present information. With that shift come the technical challenges of developing a new approach to information design and managing multimedia technology. We've designed this guide to help you address these challenges. This guide identifies the steps involved in managing a multimedia project and explores the technical concepts behind preparing different multimedia effects for Microsoft Windows. Whether you read this guide straight through or skim it for tips and technical tidbits, it can help you better understand multimedia development. What is Multimedia?The short answer is digital.Virtually any digital information which can be displayed on a computer finds its way into multimedia presentations. After all, what is a computer all about?The evolution of computers in society is the driving force behind the growth of multimedia.(When) Is Multimedia Useful?This is a good question. The short answer is sometimes.Multimedia can be used extremely effectively when the focus of the audience is normally on a computer and therefore the presentation is predisposed to be digital. The list of typical applications.Ø Computer demos Ø Software demos Ø Computer training Ø Computer based training Ø Computer entertainment Ø Personal informational applications Ø Communication applications Ø Commercial retail applications Ø Public access information applications Ø Lifestyle and infrastructure applications (future?) Ø What is the common denominator? Again, the short answer is digital.Ø Digital formats provide a very useful tool for creating effective communication. Interactivity. Digital media can be accessed uniformly and quickly.The use of Multimedia and interactive media is growing and evolving as our society incorporates digital technologies.
