Overview

Media is any format used to create, store, and convey information.  In includes print, audio, video, animation, film, TV, radio, and computers.  If you combine two or more media into a single presentation format, you have multimedia.  This course concerns itself primarily with the design and production of digital, or computer-based media formats.  This unit is no exception.

• Section 1 provides a very brief overview of the evolution of multimedia
• Section 2 covers the design and production of digital audio, digital video, and combined audio/video
• Section 3 covers cell and morphing style animation in several formats
• The unit project pulls all these together in the development of a small web with several multimedia components.

This unit will help you develop capabilities you need to complete the major design activity for the course.
