Using Multi-Media Can Be A Fight Or An Adventure! BASIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES CAN HELP Some You Currently Do Many Of These-Obvious?
Design Principle 1 Consider A Mouse Simulated Presentation Tool
We Each Have Some Personal Font Favorites! I Really Like This Font! Multimedia presentations may be viewed in person on stage, projected, transmitted, or played locally with a media player. A broadcast may be a live or recorded multimedia presentation. Broadcasts and recordings can be either analog or digital electronic media technology. Digital online multimedia may be downloaded or streamed. Streaming multimedia may be live or on-demand. Multimedia games may be played in person in an arena with special effects, with multiple users in an online network, or locally with an offline computer or game system. The various formats of technological or digital multimedia may be intended to enhance the users experience, for example to make it easier and faster to convey information. Or in entertainment or art, to transcend everyday experience.
