?
Multimedia can be defined as media that combines different content forms such as
TEXT, STILL IMAGES, AUDIO, VIDEO, ANIMATION AND SPECIAL EFFECTS
to get a multi-faceted finished product. Compared to traditional media professionals
in areas such as radio, multimedia professionals should possess various technical
skills such as photography, web and graphic design. Multimedia Road Map showing

10. WHAT IS GRAPHIC DESIGN
?
Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas.
The requirements that a Graphic designer works to are both objective and subjective. The
objective requirements are easy to understand. They are technical and business requirements
that allow for measurement and direct comparison. How much will it cost? What is the best
material? When can it be finished by?
It’s the subjective, creative side of Graphic design that’s hardest to explain and hardest for
most people to understand. The aesthetic side of design relates to fashion, human behaviour,
emotion and cultural influences such as the cultural meaning of symbols.

11. GRAPHICS TYPE
Raster Graphics
?
Vector Graphics
The difference between vector and raster graphics is that raster graphics are
composed of pixels, Raster graphics, on the other hand, become "blocky," since each pixel
increases in size as the image is made larger. This is why logos and other designs are
typically created in vector format -- the quality will look the same on a business card as it
will on a billboard. A raster graphic, such as a gif or jpeg, is an array of pixels of various
colors, which together form an image.
While vector graphics are composed of paths. A vector graphic, such as an .eps file or
Adobe Illustrator? file, is composed of paths, or lines, that are either straight or curved. The
data file for a vector image contains the points where the paths start and end, how much
the paths curve, and the colors that either border or fill the paths. Because vector graphics
are not made of pixels, the images can be scaled to be very large without losing quality.

15. WHAT IS COLOR
?
Color is the aspect of things that is caused by differing qualities
of light being reflected or emitted by them.

16. RGBCOLOR
?
RGB color space or RGB color system, constructs all the
colors from the combination of the Red, Green and Blue
colors.
The red, green and blue use 8 bits each, which have
integer values from 0 to 255. This makes
256*256*256=16777216 possible colors.
RGB ≡ Red, Green, Blue
Each pixel in the LCD monitor displays colors this way, by
combination of red, green and blue LEDs (light emitting
diodes).
When the red pixel is set to 0, the LED is turned off. When
the red pixel is set to 255, the LED is turned fully on.
Any value between them sets the LED to partial light
emission.

17. CMYK COLOR
?
The CMYK color model (process color, four color) is a subtractive color
model, used in color printing and is also used to describe the printing
process itself. CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan,
magenta, yellow, and key (black). Though it varies by print house, press
operator, press manufacturer, and press run, ink is typically applied in the
order of the abbreviation.

18. PHOTOSHOP
Information includes not only text and numbers, but images as well. The expression
"a picture is worth a thousand words" is as true today as ever.
Adobe Photoshop is the industry-standard tool for digital imaging, which makes
Photoshop expertise a valuable commodity in the workplace. Learning Photoshop is
also a good way to learn imaging concepts. Concepts you learn from working with
Photoshop apply to other imaging tools as well (including Photoshop Elements,
which has a very similar user interface and features).

Graphic designers work on their designs using different programs but there are
some who haven’t tried using Adobe Illustrator yet. Adobe Illustrator is a
popular program for designing that primarily manipulates vector graphic. It is a
vector graphics editor that allows you to create and edit vector graphics images.
You can create designs with small file sizes which can be printed in high quality.
