What is multimedia

What multimedia is to me is a combination of different content forms and the use of technology to use more than one form of communication. Multimedia can be different media types. It can also be different computer programs. I think it is a bunch of varieties dealing with technology and media uses. I think its also a form of expression. Its used to share information like thoughts and ideas.

5 sentence blog post

  • Blog post - 5 sentences on each questions - What was your favorite DTP assignment (flyer, can label, menu, magazine cover, event ticket) and why?  What was your least favorite DTP assignment and why?
  • My favorite DTP assignment was the event ticket. It was my favorite because I got to make my own ticket for any event. I made a basketball ticket for my favorite team because I would love to be able to go to one of their games. Also it was fun to customize it on publisher.
  • My least favorite DTP assignment was the magazine cover. It was my least favorite because I found it the most boring. I also didn't like having to use a picture of me as the background. Other then that it wasn't that bad like with the little pages things that we had to have on the side.

5 desktop elements blog post

  • Blog Post - Name 5 desktop principles, elements or vocabulary terms that you have used in creating the can label and/or the special event ticket and EXPLAIN how you used them.
  • A element that I used is lines. I used line for things such as underlying, organizing information, and to provide emphasis. 
  • I also used shapes. I used shapes in my logos and to make the design more interesting like with pictures. 
  • I used mass as a element as well. I made some text have more mass than others by making the size bigger and in bold. 
  • I used color a lot. I used it to lead the eye and to create movement. Also to make it more visually appealing.
  • A design that I used was whitespace to give it some space between words. I also used washout on some pictures and text.

family rules blog post

  • Blog Post:  Most families set rules for their children, especially regarding behavior and responsibility.  Do you long to stay out later, go out more, or dress any way you like?  Which rules do you find particularly annoying? Write about rules that you consider unfair and why?  Which rules do you find that are fair and why?
  • My parents let me stay outside until it starts to get dark but they won't let me until i'm done with my homework. I don't get to dress how I want because when its not summer time and I want to wear shorts because its not cold to me I still have to wear pants and I can only go out the house with clothes that they let me wear. A rule that I find annoying is the going out with my friends rule. They only let me go to the movies if im with a group of friends, they are at the same movie, and they know the parent. So most of the time I can't go. A unfair rule is that I can't eat food around the house unless I have a table. Rules that are fair are that I can have my electronics during the week and I can stay up on weekends. That is fair because if I have a phone I should be able to use it and if I dont have school then I should be able to stay up and watch tv.
