What is Multimedia Design?

Multimedia Design is the creation and communication of art and ideas through a blending of classic techniques and new technologies.  

Multimedia Design students learn how to create projects that entertain while educating, in a way that is dynamic and interactive.   Projects may include a variety of video, audio, musical, photographic, animation, and/or graphic elements, and can be produced in the forms of web sites, computer games and programs, movies, music, commercials, short videos, finished art, printed media and more!  

Students will learn to use digital video cameras and editing software; to use still cameras and process their images; to record sounds, and adapt them for a variety of uses; to make music using MIDI synthesizers; how to write computer programs to support and enhance your projects; and the basics of creative design production.

The Multimedia Design program at Lane brings together the concepts of design and learned technological skills and translates them to the real world experience of hands-on production classes and Cooperative Education opportunities.
