What It Means

Multimedia is the art form of the digital age. Multimedia melds electronic source material-graphics, audio, text and more into coherent communications for websites, games, video or other media. There are entire films composed on computer, and many films and commercials made today have some sort of computer manipulation involved. Multimedia is also an important part of the business world, due to applications such as web-based e-commerce. Using software, individuals who know multimedia are at work behind-the-scenes designing and creating graphical, audio and text communications for a variety of items from video games to the evening news.
