Multimedia design is a means of communicating information via an interactive Website, CD-ROM, or kiosk. As a multimedia designer, your career will include manipulating images and information from a variety of sources, including audio, video, still images, animation, text, soundtracks, and digital data using computer applications and audio/visual techniques. Multimedia designers utilize such programs as Adobe Premiere and Photoshop, Macromedia Director, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Competition for such positions is stiff, and earning a degree in multimedia design is your first step towards standing out from the crowd.
