Study Notes
Fundamentals to Multimedia Animation
- Design integrates words and drawings to enhance creativity and visual appeal.
- Graphic design communicates visually through images and text in multimedia contexts.
- Graphic designers use pixel-based (bitmap) and vector-based graphics.
Understanding Bitmap and Vector Graphics
- Bitmap images consist of pixels; enlarging a bitmap reveals individual pixels.
- Bitmap graphics are editable by altering individual pixels using software like Adobe Photoshop.
- Vector images use mathematical formulas for lines and curves, allowing for more scalability without losing quality.
- Vector formats (SVG) are smaller and can be easily resized without pixelation, unlike bitmaps.
- Bitmap formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF) are preferable for images with color gradations, while vector formats suit images with solid colors, such as logos.
Image vs. Video
- Images are static visual representations, while digital images consist of binary visual data stored electronically.
- Videos are moving images combined with sound, delivering information quickly and demanding high memory and bandwidth.
- Digital video can be stored, transferred, and edited easily within computer networks.
Animation in Multimedia
- Animation communicates information by creating the illusion of motion through animated characters and scenes.
- Traditional animation used hand-drawn images on celluloid sheets, while modern animation predominantly employs computer-generated images.
- Animation plays a critical role in advertising, with brands utilizing short animated clips for social media and online marketing.
Uses of Animation
- In advertising, animation trends include quirky and eye-catching animated content.
- The gaming industry heavily relies on animation for creating 3D characters and environments.
- Digital animation has distinctions from traditional animation, each with pros and cons.
Digital vs. Traditional Animation
- Digital animation: requires powerful computers, is virtual and easily shareable, generally cheaper, and quicker than traditional methods.
- Traditional animation: involves hand-drawing, requires physical storage, is labor-intensive, and offers less flexibility for corrections.
2D vs. 3D Animation
- 2D Animation: consists of flat images on an X and Y axis, typically lower cost, uses simpler software, and takes less time to create.
- 3D Animation: involves objects on X, Y, and Z axes, uses advanced software features like texturing and lighting, costs more, and takes longer to produce.
Key Technical Terms
- Resolution: Measured in pixels per inch (PPI); higher resolution creates crisper images, while lower resolution can lead to visible pixelation when enlarged.
- Frame Rate: Refers to the rate at which consecutive images (frames) are displayed, influencing the smoothness of animations and videos.
