Tutorial 3

Discuss the difference between bitmap and vector graphics. Describe five different graphic elements you might use in a project, for example, the background, buttons, icons, or text. Would you use a vector tool or a bitmap tool for each element? Why?
Bitmap images on the other hand are based on pixels and are created with a huge amount of software packages, the biggest and most well known being Photoshop. These types of images tend to become pixelated with “jagged” edges when enlarged bigger than their actual size, such as when you enlarge a photograph (as photographs are bitmap based).

Discuss the difference between bitmap and vector graphics. Describe five different graphic elements you might use in a project, for example, the background, buttons, icons, or text. Would you use a vector tool or a bitmap tool for each element? Why?
Background: in any project background of the project is playing and important rule which include the biggest part of the project. Therefor, it should be well designed in order to attract the viewers. Hence, a well designed background is need for any web projects. One of the most popular software to use is adobe photoshop which able us to create Bitmap tools for the website.

buttons: Another part of the projects is button which able the user to simply access to other pages or option which defined by the developers in the projects. usually buttons are created by the predefined format of the buttons by the compiler. For this case, Bitmap graphic can be used, but for me I just simply use the predefined format of the buttons in order to save the time.

 Icon : Icons are kind of buttons. they do have a similar functionality but the difference is that majority of icons are short form of the button with shortcut name of the function. for the Icons its necessary to use bitmap graphics.

Text: there is no website project which doesn't have any text area. text are is the place which all the information and data should be declare in it. therefor the format of the text is very import an ant its like the vector tools and text are line base in graphic science.

Separator: another important part in graphic design of a project is separator which separate each part of project. For declaring the separator we need to use vector graphics in order to separate the parts.

Your boss wants you to create a hypermedia system for Web visitors to find technical support information about your company. What are some of the implications in creating this system? Should you hand-build the links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?

Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non- linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia , which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations  as well as hypermedia. Hypermedia includes use of sound, video, image and text. This helps the user to know about the product of the company. The user can view and test the product so
for as view of the product is concerned. However the hypermedia restricts the speed of web and it also enhances the time taken for opening of the site.
So for as the use of hand build indexing system and automatic indexing is concerned, it is the glue that holds the content together. It is the layer of order which makes data base product, robust, and responsive, thus best ever to serve the needs of organization. However without automatic indexing, one may find the precise bit of data that will ignite a new market.

    Briefly discuss the history and future of multimedia. How might multimedia be used to improve the lives of its users? How might it influence users in negative ways? What might be its shortcomings?

Multimedia can improve the lives of users in its applications. The most significant one is improving the lifestyle today. Users can know the latest news that happening around the world without travelling. Moreover, it brings more entertainment to the user. Let take an example of mobile phone. In the past, users only use it to call other people. Currently, mobile phone is like ‘PAT’, Personal Assistant Tool. Many multimedia applications are invented as part of functions of mobile phone. Users can play online games, listening songs or RTM, watching movie or MTV, surfing internet, 3G call, capture photos, read image catalogues, record something, etc. Besides that, some hi-tech mobile phones even provide GPRS MAP (GM) that help users not get lost when travelling or driving at new places. Users can know the location through the graphic simulation on the GM.

 Nevertheless, multimedia might influence users in negative ways. Since it is very convenient and easy to use, people may use the multimedia invention and technology in the wrong ways. The most significant is the privacy of the user may be violated. Some users like to use mobile phone or digital camera to record the incident and publish it to ‘you tube’ which actually is violating human being right. In addition, some users may use the advanced multimedia software to edit the picture in order to create the story which can push the sale of magazine especially paparazzi.

Moreover, talking about its shortcomings, multimedia invention might always be misuse by some unmoral organizations when competes to get something. False news was made and spread by someone based on ‘edited picture’ through Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) or other web resources.

In a nutshell, multimedia has contributed a lot to people life today. Thus, users should not misuse it and should appreciate the multimedia application by being a morally good user.

HyperMedia

Your boss wants you to create a hypermedia system for Web visitors to find technical support information about your company. What are some of the implications in creating this system? Should you hand-build the links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?

Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term
hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text
and hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non-
linear medium of information. This contrasts with the
broader term multimedia , which may be used to describe
non-interactive linear presentations
as well as hypermedia.
Hypermedia includes use of sound, video, image and text. This helps the user to know about the product of
the company. The user can view and test the product so
for as view of the product is concerned. However the hypermedia restricts the speed of web and it also enhances the time taken for opening of the site.
So for as the use of hand build indexing system and automatic indexing is concerned, it is the glue that holds the content together. It is the layer of order which makes data base product, robust, and responsive,
thus best ever to serve the needs of organization. However without automatic indexing, one may find the precise bit of data that will ignite a new market

Hypertext

Tutorial 2

Discuss the differences among multimedia, interactive multimedia, hypertext, and hypermedia.Multimedia—the combination of text, graphic, and audio elements into a single collection or presentation—becomes interactive multimedia when you give the user some control over what information is viewed and when it is viewed. Interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia when its designer provides a structure of linked elements through which a user can navigate Interactive multimedia is where you can interact with it for example a DVD menu, And the most interactive of all a game. Websites are also interactive multimedia.

Interactive multimedia is the uses of content forms that includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms sometimes called "rich media" or interactive multimedia that describes as electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content.




Hypertext - Hypertext is basically the same as regular text - it can be stored, read, searched, or edited - with an important exception: hypertext is text with pointers to other text. The browsers let you deal with the pointers in a transparent way -- select the pointer, and you are presented with the text that is pointed to.



Hypermedia - Hypermedia is a superset of hypertext. Hypermedia documents contain links not only to other pieces of text, but also to other forms of media - sounds, images, and movies. Images themselves can be selected to link to sounds or documents. This means that browsers might not display a text file, but might display images or sound or animations. Hypermedia simply combines hypertext and multimedia.
