I love Multimedia

Wouldn't you agree with me that the use of multimedia has made the internet so much more enticing and interesting? Multimedia makes use of text, animations, audio and still images to appeal to its targeted audience. The use of multimedia has been adopted vastly across the virtual world; be it appealing to a gaming audience to an audience of photographers.




This is Audition; an online game by Asiasoft. I've been playing this game for quite awhile now. Its homepage spells Multimedia all over. From the background to the various banners at the side which allows you to either sign up with Asiasoft or download the game client.



Audition's homepage allows you to view videos of players playing online and there are screen shots available as well. The use of videos and still pictures further enhances the webpage and not to mention adds to help persuade you to play the game.



Since Audition is a game that incorporates dance moves, there's definitely got to be music. To further persuade you to play, a sample of songs are readily available for you to listen to as show above!

But what really makes this website a successful website? The multimedia plays a huge part in it and the ability to add so many perks to it definitely sends its message out loud and clear. However, another important aspect of multimedia plays a part too. And that aspect is: Hypermedia

Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information. This way, Asiasoft is able to link up as many pages as it wants to to its homepage instead of cramming all the information they want to convey to the targeted audience.



Take instance the screen shot above. Just by placing my mouse over the word "Info", a whole list of options pop out. "News. Notice. Events. Characters. Stag. Arena. Level."

Well, as you can see, Asiasoft fully utilizes multimedia to its full potential. Multimedia isn't just on homepages; Multimedia is Everywhere. From blogs to television to games to even advertisements. The tool of multimedia is simple awesome.






What will we ever do without Multimedia?

Our lives did be dead boring.
