Multimedia involves combining different types of media such as text, audio, images, and videos. It is important for design majors as design is a form of art, and multimedia helps engage viewers and clients. For example, in product design, multimedia presentations can be used to persuade clients to select a particular design. The iPad is also an example of a successful multimedia product, as ads showed how it could be used to do many tasks, and its popularity demonstrates that multimedia is important not just in design but in everyday life.
