1. Multimedia, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia
Multimedia is such a part of our lives right now that we consume it without giving it much thought. Some multimedia sites where you get to do stuff for free...
Youtube (of course!!!)
Miniclip (for simple games to while away your time!)
Online Flash Games (more games!!)
Facebook (where you get to interact with friends and play games and do all sorts of silly stuff)
.. And much much more... You can really get lost in the Internet surfing these sites and engaging multimedia! Before you know it, your weekend is spent entirely on multimedia and you go to school on Monday looking and feeling like a zombie. It's that immersive and addictive.
Anyway, we are supposed to compare different multimedia ads so here are a couple of ads by market leading companies Nokia and iPod that are quite good in my opinion.
Nokia
I don't own a Nokia phone but I feel that this is an unique ad that enlists the use of multimedia to great effect. It really impresses me.
iPod
This advertisment was way ahead of its time in the usage of music and great graphics to highlight the iPod. I don't own an iPod but this was a breakthrough at the time it was released and really stirred up a lot of buzz and interest.
Multimedia is such a part of our lives that we don't even know that we are consuming it. Gone are the days when pictures can't move and words are just confined to paper and music is just on MTV or radio. Everything is becoming amalgamated into multimedia. Good or bad? It's up to you to decide for yourself.
