Introduction
Multimedia has changed the face of Web Design. In the past a developer would only have had limited possibilities to work with when it came to creative design. Multimedia changed all of this and brought all the aspects of good design and interactive design, to the developer’s desk.
A simple definition of multimedia in the past would have read: “Here lies the web dead, because there was no sound, film or cartoons and I got bored and died”, but this is not the case anymore and multimedia has brought us a combination of content that consists of video, audio, animation, text, interactivity and still imaging.
Multimedia is dependent on good designer toolkits that allows for better design capabilities. Multimedia companies are constantly working on better frameworks and techniques to improve on existing ones and these are tested against the ever changing world of new electronic devices and the software that goes with that.
In this paper I will set out to investigate which of the toolkits, techniques and frameworks in multimedia are presently more effective and usable than others and how they compare with what is on the market. It is also important to find the software that is compatible with most hardware and software and why the function better on some devices than on others.

The Internet or the World Wide Web first came into existence, because of a man called Tim Berners-Lee, even though many people believe it is greatly thanks to J.C.R. Licklider (Wikipedia Foundation, 2014) that there is an internet in existence. But besides that, businesses started investing in the idea and so did many organizations and wanted to get themselves on the Internet and advertise and sell themselves on the World Wide Web,...

... user friendly, but also newer and more attractive. For this reason new software will always be added to the existing framework.
You as a developer will have to decide what it is you need for your business. You will not necessarily need the same toolkit as the developer next to you; each and every developer is a unique designer, with unique needs. You have to consider your hardware and software you already have and research what’s out there before you buy or install anything.
Make use of the freeware that is on offer and test them against your PC and the software you have installed on your computer. This way you can be sure of what you intend to invest in. Speak to other developers about what they have found to work for them and look at their sites to compare what they say with what they have achieved, it is one way of estimating if you are being advised truthfully.
I work in the event technology field and have been responsible for managing the setup and operation of sound, visual, lighting and tele-communications technology for events. Success requires the synchronization of disparate technologies and following a timeline of events that may require on the fly reevaluation and modification. Inevitably technology will fail, either through its own internal fault or in the connections between devices, by electrical/internet problems and/or when media compatibility/playback issues fail or do not perform as
...d, including animation, VFX, audio editing, graphic designing capabilities and so much more. It also speedily loads up and slices through both audio video with ease, and can easily fix flaws and inconsistencies with the lighting, footage and audio making this software truly elite. In addition to that, this software’s apps can make use of green screen technology, and can also insert SFX and VFX into our films, making it versatile for use both in front of the green screen and on live shots. Finally, it can handle 4K resolution—as well as many lower resolutions—which means it is compatible with our cameras.

...tal age has opened up new design fields of game design, software, electronic publications, mobile applications, web design, multi-media and others. Although a designer benefits by having a basic knowledge of each area, it is not possible for one person to do everything. A designer specializing in a specific field produces high quality work. Regardless if the design is for print or multimedia, designers need to use basic elements of design while incorporating the principles of balance, proximity, alignment, repetition, contrast and space.
Building Verses Buying Software applications are powerful tools in the battle to make businesses more efficient and effective. Many have tried to make do with commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS), only to find that their specific needs demanded professionally developed software. Others insist on reinventing the wheel by developing software in areas where vendors are offering an already mature, reliable and relatively cheap version to buy. There are some significant advantages to building-it-yourself software and systems.
If you 're unsure of what software to buy, I recommend that you go to your nearest computer store such as "Best Buys", and ask one of the workers there which software they think is the best.

... time (Levy, 2010). Due to the fact that TVE has roots in all of the major technologies (telephone, television, and the Internet), it is truly one of the most profound creations because it shows progression of all three fields, not just one or the other. Distributors and programmers alike are rolling out products that deliver content to new platforms: smartphones, tablets, game consoles and smart TVs. By blending the technologies that are most dominant today, TVE is trying to make a permanent place for itself. This technological advancement is still very new so it has growth of its own to achieve. However, it is always necessary to reflect upon the history of a concept to recognize the ways it can be utilized and further transformed in the future. TVE’s history is a colorful blend of all technologies that made society into the multi-tiered civilization it is today.
The confusion of new forms of media can be overwhelming. For those of us who grew up with the Internet, it may not be all that difficult to grasp its concepts and to tackle its nuances; but for those who grew up with print, the transition between the two could be exhausting. The concepts in new forms of electronic expression are in their developmental stages—still trying to find a dynamic equilibrium between mimicking print and inventing new ways of performance. Electronic media are trying to take advantage of their unique characteristics, while not proving to be too tedious for the audience to understand.
Freelance audio visual technicians must be versatile if they want to ensure a long and fruitful career. To design and install the best AV systems, technicians must be well-schooled in industry standard technology and best practices. Otherwise, they risk delivering solutions that can’t address a client’s needs. In worst-case scenarios, an AV system does more harm than good and sullies the reputation of the AV company attached to the poor performance.
Over the past few years a debate between Flash and HTML5 has been gaining more attention as HTML5 becomes more developed and polished. Flash has been the web standard for websites since the late 1990’s but HTML5 is quickly gaining ground and is considered by some as the standard of the “future”. Another aspect of the debate is whether or not we should go with open web standards or closed, Flash being the latter. Even though 85% of the most-visited websites run on flash, HTML5 is the future because HTML5 combined with javascript and CSS3 offers the same capabilities as flash and HTML5 can avoid many issues that Flash faces by being open source.
Essentially, Adobe Flash has managed to broaden our general comprehension of the innovative and enhanced Web 2.0 for the World Wide Web. Without this advanced software programming, the world would not experience the luxury of quality video and audio transmission. As a result, the world has evolved with the contemporary internet becoming more efficient each day. To this day, frequent users of Adobe Flash may thank the creator, Jonathan Gay for his contributions towards the dynamic World Wide Web.
Throughout the years, technology has vastly developed, and is growing everyday. There has been more diverse ways to connect through an extension in development. There has been a growth in these forms of electronic communication, which has largely been made possible through computer technology, 'new media'. This term is in relation to 'old media' forms, such as print newspapers and magazines that are static representations of old text and images.
The Internet began like most things in our society, that is to say that the government started it. The Internet started out as a experimental military network in the 60's. Doug Engelbart prototypes an "Online System" (NLS) which does hypertext browsing editing, email, and so on. The Internet is a worldwide broadcasting resource used for distributing information and a source for interaction between people on their computers.
After print, various media were invented such as radio, television and the internet to accelerate information flows. The invention of new media led to questions such as whether the medium is of less importance than the content, or whether the new medium results in a different message. The upcoming digital medium is referred to as 'post-digital '. In this post-digital era, the transition of content from paper books to pixel is a debated topic.
