Hi there

The world of multimedia is a gold mine of career opportunities for those who have an aptitude for combining their creative talent with technological skills.

It is a world in which such creative people use text, graphics, animation, audio and video with computer interactivity to create new visual and virtual worlds. And work could be fun aplenty if you simply lose track of time while conjuring up those worlds on your PC. Multimedia tools span a wide spectrum - from video and sound editing to special effects, virtual reality, animation, games and interactive multimedia programming.

Learning multimedia and working as a professional in this challenging field could be an enjoyable experience. But it requires hard work, ability to visualise and understand the concept of design logically, and implement it with a clear head. Be prepared to persevere. The different areas where you could plan a career in multimedia are:

Publishing industry

Print media is one of the oldest areas of work and forms the biggest chunk of the Indian, Asian and global media market. And it is likely to remain dominant for years to come. Publishing has acquired newer and broader dimensions owing to networking. There are lots of Government and private institutions in India where one could learn the art of design and printing technology, and digital print media.

Entertainment industry

The boom in the IT industry and the emergence of cable TV and convergent entertainment segments have made this a medium with a lot of potential for growth and creativity, particularly taking the emerging international markets into consideration. Graphic designers, cameramen, sound recordists, compositors, games design specialists and animators are an integral part of this happening sector.
A number of Government and private institutions offer training in media and mass communication. A beginner could easily earn up to Rs. 20,000 per month within two years and the sky is the limit if you can make the grade.

Interactive multimedia and web industry:

Talk of multimedia and it is often the Internet that springs to one's mind. Apart from the Internet, creation of interactive CDs has contributed significantly to the growth of the multimedia industry. Career opportunities are aplenty.

There are plenty of institutions that provide training in web design and engineering. But one must be cautious and choose an institute that has credibility in the industry, and which can assist you in finding a suitable job. A fresher in this area could earn approximately Rs. 7,000 per month and after a year or two it could go up to Rs. 15,000. An entrepreneur could earn a lot more.

Multimedia is any combination of text, graphic art, sound, animation, and video delivered to you by computer or other electronic means.

It is richly presented sensation. When you weave together the sensual elements of multimedia-dazzling pictures and animations, engaging sounds, compelling video clips, and raw textual information-you can electrify the thought and action centers of people's minds.

When you give them interactive control or the process, they can be enchanted. Multimedia excites eyes, ears, fingertips, and, most importantly, the head." (Multimedia making it work 5th edition)
