Multimedia is similar to traditional mixed media in fine art, but with a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Multimedia means that computer info can be represented through audio, graphics, image, video and animation in addition to traditional media (text and graphics). Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p>Multimedia finds its application in various areas including, but not limited to, advertisements, art, education, entertainment, engineering, medicine, mathematics, business, scientific research and spatial temporal applications. Below are the several examples as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Entertainment and fine arts</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Multimedia is heavily used in the entertainment industry, especially to develop special effects in movies and animations. Multimedia games are a popular pastime and are software programs available either as CD-ROMs or online. Some video games also use multimedia features.<br /><br />Multimedia applications that allow users to actively participate instead of just sitting by as passive recipients of information are called <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">Interactive Multimedia</span></em>.<br /><br />In the Arts there are multimedia artists, whose minds are able to blend techniques using different media that in some way incorporates interaction with the viewer. One of the most relevant could be Peter Greenaway who is melding Cinema with Opera and all sorts of digital media. Another approach entails the creation of multimedia that can be displayed in a traditional fine arts arena, such as an art gallery. For the most part these artists are using materials that will not hold up over time. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-family: Arial;">Education<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In Education, multimedia is used to produce computer-based training courses (popularly called CBTs) and reference books like encyclopaedia and almanacs. A CBT lets the user go through a series of presentations, text about a particular topic, and associated illustrations in various information formats. Edutainment is an informal term used to describe combining education with entertainment, especially multimedia entertainment. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-family: Arial;">Engineering<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Software engineers may use multimedia in Computer Simulations for anything from entertainment to training such as military or industrial training. Multimedia for software interfaces are often done as collaboration between creative professionals and software engineers. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-family: Arial;">Industry<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In the Industrial sector, multimedia is used as a way to help present information to shareholders, superiors and coworkers. Multimedia is also helpful for providing employee training, advertising and selling products all over the world via virtually unlimited web-based technologies. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-family: Arial;">Mathematical and Scientific Research<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In Mathematical and Scientific Research, multimedia is mainly used for modelling and simulation. For example, a scientist can look at a molecular model of a particular substance and manipulate it to arrive at a new substance. Representative research can be found in journals such as the Journal of Multimedia. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-family: Arial;">Medicine<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In Medicine, doctors can get trained by looking at a virtual surgery or they can simulate how the human body is affected by diseases spread by viruses and bacteria and then develop techniques to prevent it. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p>“Graphic Design” encompasses a whole range of media services.

Contemporary design practice has been extended to the modern computer, in particular WYSIWYG user interfaces, often referred to as interactive design, or multimedia design.<br /><br />Anywhere there is a need to communicate visually, there is potential enhancement of communications through graphic design. Here are a few examples: <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In Administration<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">From road signs to technical schematics, from interoffice memorandums to reference manuals, graphic design enhances transfer of knowledge. Readability is enhanced by improving the visual presentation of text. Intricate and clever pictures are used when words cannot suffice. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In Advertising<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Graphic designs have a unique ability to sell a product or idea through effective visual communications. It is applied to products as well as elements of company identity like logos, colors, and text, together defined as branding. <em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal;">See advertising</span></em><i style="">.</i> Branding has increasingly become important in the range of services offered by many graphic designers, alongside corporate identity and the terms are often used interchangeably. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In Education<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Graphics are used in textbooks for subjects such as geography, science, and math to illustrate theories and diagrams. A common example of graphics in use to educate is diagrams of human anatomy. Graphic design is also applied to layout and formatting of educational material to make the information more accessible and more readily understandable. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In Entertainment<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">From decoration, to scenery, to visual story telling, graphic design is applied to entertainment. From cover to cover in novels and comic books, from opening credits to closing credits in film, from programs to props on stage, graphic design helps set the theme and the intended mood. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In Journalism<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">From scientific journals to news reporting, the presentation of opinion and facts is often improved with graphics and thoughtful compositions of visual information. Newspapers, magazines, blogs, television and film documentaries may use graphic design to inform and entertain. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h4><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">On the Web<o:p></o:p></span></h4> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Graphic designers have long been involved in web design. Combining visual communication skills with the interactive communication skills of user interaction and online branding, graphic designers often work with web developers to create both the look and feel of a web site and enhance the online experience of web site visitors. In the job field, companies these days look for someone who can do both graphic and web design. There is a great deal of argument in the professional design community about whether or not this trend is positive. Although it has created new job opportunities for skilled graphic designers, it has also created a glut of web designers who think they can do graphic design but really have little artistic talent. It is important for designers to understand the intricacies of the other medium before offering the skill as a professional service (transitioning from graphic design to web design).<b style=""><o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p><a href="http://www.websitesoutsourcing.com/">www.Websitesoutsourcing.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br /><o:p></o:p></span></p>WebSitesOutSourcinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03142405315379887921noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043961922898629968.post-52153161943005257922008-07-27T21:02:00.000-07:002008-07-27T21:05:26.814-07:00Creating a Web Page<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;">Just look at here first:<o:p></o:p></span></h1> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Page Title:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Does your title explain what the page is? Is your page title descriptive? This is what will show up if someone bookmarks your page, and at the top of the page. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Content:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">People come to Web sites for information. If your Web page doesn't have any, then they won't come back. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Page Length:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Have you thought about how your page will look on different browsers? If it is too long, people won't want to scroll to read it, but if it's too short, it won't have enough information to keep people on the page.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Image Size:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Are your images smaller than 12Kb? If you must have an image larger than that, show the reader a thumbnail (a smaller version of the image, that was resized by a paint program <b>not</b> the browser) and allow them to decide if they want to download it.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Image Quality:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style=""> </span>If you add it to the page, then think about what it lends to the page. For example, these check marks are here to emphasize the "checklist" nature of this page. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Image HTML:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Does your image tag have all the necessary HTML? This includes the width and height, and the alt text. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Link Text:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Do you link to descriptive text rather than boring words like "click here"? The biggest problem with navigation on the Web is that readers don't know where they are going. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Link Quality:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Do all of your links go to active pages? If you maintain a site on the Web, you should spend time every week making sure that the links work. There are many validators available to check your links with. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <h3><span style="font-size: 10pt;">General Issues<o:p></o:p></span></h3> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Feedback:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">If you are putting up a Web page, feedback from your readers can help you make it better. Chances are, the spammers will find you either way, and hiding your identity just makes your page look less real. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Last Updated:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">If you update your page frequently, this helps readers determine if they will find value in reading your site again. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Valid HTML:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Does your HTML meet HTML standards? While it isn't always vital that you use only HTML standard tags, you should use correct HTML, and use browser specific tags only when you have adjusted for the differences on different platforms. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Correct Spelling and Grammar:<span style=""> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Are there any spelling or grammar errors on your page? If there are, you should fix them. Simple typos can destroy the credibility of an otherwise wonderful page. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.pntglobal.com/">www.websitesoutsourcing.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Reference: About.com<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>WebSitesOutSourcinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03142405315379887921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043961922898629968.post-15051336385974310742008-07-17T10:16:00.000-07:002008-07-17T10:18:28.892-07:00What to outsource web site designing and development<p class="MsoNormal">There are billion of web pages on internet today but still web site designing and development business is booming as thousand of new sites are coming every day besides updating in old sites. Particularly in developed countries like <st1:country-region st="on">USA</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region st="on">Canada</st1:country-region> and <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">Uk</st1:country-region></st1:place>, businesses are well aware about the importance of internet and they are relying on web site designing and development companies to give them edge over their competitors on internet. As the business of web site designing and development is growing more companies are coming in to offer web site designing and development services. It is now becoming hard for web site designing and development companies to get edge over their competitors. There is only one way for doing so and this is to reduce their price for web site designing and development services and also reduce their turn around time and keeping the quality high.</p> <p>This could be achieved only by outsourcing web site designing and development services to under developed countries where cost for human resource and that of infra structure is very low as compared to developed countries. </p> <p>Also due to time difference turn around time is lower than that of developed countries. </p> <p>Through outsourcing offshore companies have eliminated their in house development cost. They are no more involved in any human resource management headache. No capital cost for development equipment or infrastructure. Off shore companies are only concentrating on marketing and rest is taken care by their outsourcing partners.</p> <p>Due to internet, communication is no more a problem and they work like they are sitting in same office but in different rooms.</p> <p>Language is also not an issue because English is essential language in countries and also they have same skill sets as in other developed countries.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://websitesoutsourcing.com">Web Development OutSourcing</a></p><p class="MsoNormal">Reference:: Wikipedia.org<br /></p>WebSitesOutSourcinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03142405315379887921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043961922898629968.post-13620523861968945332008-07-13T03:49:00.000-07:002008-07-13T03:58:41.908-07:00Benefits to Hiring a Outsourcing Company<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.25in 0in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Companies of all sizes struggle with escalating costs of full-time employees. Hidden behind paychecks are less visible costs. Not often considered in the decision to outsource include: hiring, training, administration, benefits, absenteeism, workspace and equipment. By some estimates, employee expenses account for up to 70% of a company’s overall revenue. In addition to providing sizable financial advantages, outsourcing’s other advantages are:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.25in 0in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">1. Expertise:</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> Harness the talent technology and expertise of niche providers and leverage best practices. Expert sources who might carry too large a price tag to employ full-time, can fit into nearly any budget on a project-by-project or as needed basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.25in 0in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">2. Management:</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> Focus on the core aspects of your business and leave the worries of non-core activities to someone else without having to commit additional managers or your time to manage a project.

Personnel Flexibility:</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> Hire specialists without being obligated to keep them on when they are not needed. It is easier to terminate an outsourced relationship than to layoff full-time personnel.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.25in 0in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">4. Capital Conservation:</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> Concentrate financial resources on core business activities vs. investing capital in overhead, such as: office space, computers, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.25in 0in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">5. Time Savings:</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> Don’t reinvent the wheel. Someone somewhere has done it before or developed an easy solution – why not use it?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.25in 0in; background: white none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Outsourcing is no longer about cutting costs and saving money.
