Multimedia Flashcards
Multimedia is a combination of content forms:
Text
Animation
Video
Audio
Sound
A Computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media
Multimedia
The field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text, graphics, still and moving images, animation, sounds and any other medium where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and processed digitally. (Marshall, 2011)
Digital Media
an application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images,
sound/audio, animation and/or vid
Multimedia Application
a text which contains links to other texts.
Hypertext
is not constrained to be text-based. It can include other media, e.g., graphics, images, and especially the continuous media – sound and video.
HyperMedia
the transformative ways that people
share information and ideas through creative uses of technology
interactive television
A digital elements to a live view often by
using the camera on a smartphone. Examples experiences include Snapchat lenses and the game Pokemon Go
Augmented reality (AR)
An experience, which combines elements
of both AR and VR, real-world and digital objects interact. it is now starting to take off with Microsoft’s HoloLens one of the most notable early mixed reality apparatuses
Mixed Reality (MR)
implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the physical world.
Virtual reality (VR)
an umbrella term that covers all of the various technologies that enhance our senses, whether they’re providing additional information about the actual world or creating totally unreal, simulated
worlds for us to experience. It includes Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR)
technologies.
Extended Reality (XR)
Basic Graphic design elements
● Line
● Color
● Shape
● Texture
● Form
● Balance
These colors include black, white, gray, tans, and
browns.
Neutral colors
CMYK stands for?
Cyan Magenta Yellow Black
RGB stands for?
Red Gree Blue
Color combinations are tried and tested selections of colors that help us achieve cohesive and interesting paintings.
Color Harmony
This is a widely used format that compresses the image to reduce the file size, but may also reduce the quality and good for photos and images with many colors and best for Rgb, but not for text, logos, or graphics with sharp
Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)
This is the standard source file format for Adobe Photoshop, which preserves all the layers, effects, and settings of your image and best for Rgb
PSD format
jpeg stands for?
Joint Photographic Experts Group
This is a lossless format that preserves the
quality and transparency of your image, but may also result in a larger file size and good for graphics, icons, logos, text, or
images with transparent backgrounds and also best for Rgb
Portable Network Graphic (PNG)
This is a format that supports animation and transparency, but only allows 256 colors, best RGB and good for simple animations or images with few colors
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)
This is a vector format that uses XML code to define the shapes, colors, and paths of your image and is good for scalable graphics, icons, diagrams, or user interface elements that need to be drawn accurately at different sizes, and best for RGB
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
This is a widely used format that preserves the layout, fonts, graphics, and colors of your document.
Portable Document Format (PDF)
preserves all the layers, effects, and settings of your image, and allows you to edit them later and good for logos, icons, illustrations, or graphics that need to be scaled without losing quality
Adobe Illustrator
This is a similar format to AI, but it is compatible with other vector programs besides Illustrator and also preserves the vector information of your image and can be edited or scaled as needed
Encapsulated Postscript (EPS)
This is a lossless format that preserves the
quality and details of your raster image, but may also result in a large file size.
Tag Image File Format (TIFF)
known as bitmap images, are made up of pixels, which stay the same
size as you zoom in and out of an image. This means that blowing these images up or zooming in can cause pixelation as the pixels become more visible.
Raster Images
digital designs that stay sharp at any size. Two-dimensional digital images are either vectors or rasters.
Vector graphics
are made up of geometric polygons and colors, and thanks to the
mathematical equations behind them, they adjust to stay crisp and clean at any size. This makes them popular assets in graphic design and digital arts. Logos, fonts, and icons are usually vector graphics.
Vector image
Why go from raster to vector?
If you’d like to create a scalable logo out of an existing photo or illustration in Photoshop, you’ll need to convert it to a vector
The very first Photoshop version
was released in?
1988
The creators of Photoshop are
Thomas Knoll and John Knoll.
Displaying your artboards so you can select Portrait or Horizontally.
Orientation
a virtual canvas. Are discrete design areas, of any shape and size, within the same document, on which you can place design
elements.
Artboards
typically described in PPI, which refers to how many pixels are displayed per inch of an image.
Resolution
The basis for the representation of a pixel’s color value.
Color mode
refers to the amount of color information available in the image.
Bit
the complete title of a file.
files name
The image size (or pixel dimensions) of an image is a measure of the number of pixels
Width and Height
A selection isolates part of an image so you can work on that area
without affecting the rest of the image.
Selection Tools
Lets you cut your entire canvas down to size, hiding what you don’t want to show. The Slice tool helps you break your piece down into multiple images for easier editing or exporting to other applications.
Crop and Slice Tools
They measure any area defined with the Ruler tool or with a selection
tool, including irregular areas selected. You can also compute the height, width, area,
and perimeter, or track measurements of one image or multiple images.
Measuring Tools
Improving the overall look and quality of a photo. Removing
blemishes, imperfections, or distracting elements from the photo
Retouching Tools
Used to paint any image, a selected color and size and used to alter an
image by creating strokes and adding color.
Painting Tools
To create and alter vector objects. Drawing tools work on vector paths, which are vector-based outlines you can turn into selections. Using the Options bar, choose whether to draw paths or shape layers. Type is created in type layers that can be transformed and warped and even set along paths
Drawing and Type Tools
a tool for monitoring an image; it also makes it easy to zoom and scroll in the image. The usefulness of the panel is that you can keep the current tool active, and, at the same time, zoom in and out of your image.
Navigation Tool
a tool that creates a chronological top-down view of everything you do in your working session in Photoshop
History Panel
