Multimedia refers to the multi dimensions of media, which can be an amalgamation of text, sound effects, light, animated figures, still images, videos and interactive content forms. Multimedia is simply multiple forms of media integrated together.

In multimedia, you communicate a concept or information via a website, CD-ROM, kiosk, usually in an interactive form. Audio, video, still pictures and animation can be elements in the overall design of the output of the interactive multimedia design form. However, television uses multimedia specialists in the non interactive form. Examples of non interactive work include, commercials, websites using Flash intros and movies.

A good multimedia professional is skilled in manipulating images and information from a variety of sources including audio, video, still images, animation, physical objects, text, soundtracks and digital data using computer applications and related visual and sound techniques. Good multimedia designers gain proficiency in programmes such as Adobe Premiere, Macromedia Director, Adobe Photoshop, and sometimes Microsoft PowerPoint for business presentations. Whereas animation, a part of multimedia, can be defined as a kind of optical illusion. Animation is an act of animating, or giving life or soul to still characters. It is a technique of making drawings move just like cartoon films. Animation is used basically for entertainment purposes.
