    Stages of a Multimedia Project

    • Planning and costing

    • Design and production

    • Testing

    • Delivery

    • Requirements for a multimedia project • Hardware • Software • Creativity and organizational skills

    Planning and Costing

    • Analyze project needs by outlining objectives.

    • Outline required multimedia expertise.

    • Develop a graphic template, structure, and navigation system.

    • Estimate project time and create a budget.

    • Prepare a prototype or proof-of-concept.

    • Task planning involves:

    • Designing the instructional framework.

    • Holding creative idea sessions.

    • Determining the delivery and authoring platforms.

    • Assembling the team.

    • Building a prototype, producing audio/video, testing functionality, and delivering the final product.

      • The planned tasks are performed to create a finished product.
      • The product is revised based on continuous client feedback. -Designing requires knowledge of computers, graphics, arts, video, music, and ability to conceptualize logical pathways.
      • Designing involves thinking, choosing, making, and doing.

    Designing a Multimedia Project (Continued)

    • Designing the structure
    • Designing the user interface

    Testing and Delivering

    • Test program to ensure it meets objectives, works on proposed platforms, and meets client requirements (Alpha and Beta testing).
    • Package and deliver final project to the end user.

    Software

    • Macintosh platform (launched in 1984: good audio/graphics, hardware/software for digitizing & video/DVD production, easier multimedia project development)
    • Windows platform (collection of vendor-neutral components, initially focused on business computing, now easier to find multimedia software/hardware than with Macintosh)

    Networking

    • Networking is essential for direct communication and sharing of resources across platforms.

    • Local Area Network (LAN): workstations located within a short distance, relatively less expensive.

    • Wide Area Network (WAN): communication systems span great distances, typically managed by corporations, expensive to install/maintain.

    • Dial-up connection to the internet (ISP) enables communication.

    • To establish communication between a Macintosh and Windows PC, install Ethernet system and client-server software.

    • Ethernet is a method of wiring up computers.

    • Client/server software is required for communication and file transfer.

    • Macintosh computers have built-in Ethernet networking, Windows PCs require an additional Ethernet card.
