Multimedia involves integrating multiple forms of media such as text, graphics, audio, and video. An example is a web page about Mozart containing text about the composer along with an audio clip of his music and a video of a performance. Animation is a type of optical illusion created by displaying still images in sequence, often used for entertainment or educational purposes. The document discusses topics taught in multimedia like using software for animation, websites, and video. It also identifies online journalism/magazines and online banking as disciplines associated with web design. The final show is a showcase of student productions and is a culmination of their multimedia studies.
