Multimedia and the Engineer

When people ask me what I do for a living, I usually answer "I'm a multimedia engineer" and watch their eyes glaze over. Further attempts to explain what I do are usually met with more blank looks and a change in the subject of conversation. I persevere.

The media in the word multimedia are audio, video, text, graphics and photographic images. A multimedia engineer brings these elements together to make an interactive production, such as a website, CD-ROM or DVD. The bringing together of these elements is often called authoring.

With this blog I intend to share some of the basic theory behind multimedia engineering. Please let me know how I'm doing by leaving comments.
