How Creative Multimedia is fun?

Therefore, combinations of innovative ideas and latest technologies of media create a magic called creative multimedia. As we know the whole process of generating new ideas and bringing them into reality is something interesting and fun. So how is it fun? Creative Multimedia serves a variety of purposes ranging from fine arts, to entertainment, to commercial art, to media and software services provided in any spectrum of career. Creative Multimedia not only includes good and well-established creative skills but also a social aspect in life we are known as to as fun.

Creative Multimedia is challenging and hence, competing with one another is fun and challenges each and every creative talents are the essence to the whole fun of it. Such challenge and different thinking skills allows us to change our mindset and the ability to modify the art and looks of a particular abstract figure.

These activities not only help them to gain new experience but also prepare them mentally and physically to face the challenging world in future.

Creative Multimedia is also known as relaxing. It does not stress us like other fields. Fields like Engineering and Information Technology will only give us headache and stress because it has too much of facts and technical stuffs to memorize and understand. But, in comparison creative multimedia gives us peace of mind and creates a lot of fun. This is because this field has lots of painting, designing and drawing work. As proven in various researches, drawings and paintings are one of the best ways to relax our mind. Therefore, creative multimedia is a distressing career. Besides that, creative multimedia has no restriction or limitation in doing things. For an example, mathematics has certain formula to solve an equation but creative multimedia does not have those limitations and creates a lot of fun. As a designer, we can create new designs and are encouraged to set our own style in design. There are no rules in creating a design in creative multimedia. Apart from that, creative multimedia does not consume much book knowledge. We do not get ideas or knowledge from books. Books are only act as references. Other than that, book does not play a major role in creative multimedia. In creative multimedia we create new things, we don’t follow the books.

Next reason why creative multimedia is fun is that it’s very colourful. The word creative itself usually will be described as colourful as rainbow. Every single image that are created or every single word that we write, we need to use colours to resemble it. Furthermore creative multimedia is also colourful since almost every activity that occurs in the creative world would be involving colours. Design wise, colours make the final artwork more attractive. Hence for sure they would love to have fun with colours. Our product will be more attractive and complete when suitable colours used. Apart from main sources of colours, artificial colours also have been used. Artificial colours are magic pen, marker pen, colour pencils, poster colours and crayon. Even the kindergarten kids and primary school students fond to use colours for simple sketches just for their fun.

The final factor that makes Creative Multimedia fun to learn, is the interest that we are having in designing and learning something creative. The childhood interest a child having towards designing provoke her to get involve in Creative Multimedia field in the future. For example, drawings and paintings are activities that does not bore children. These are their favorites hobbies to express their feelings and love towards someone. Those who really experienced the benefits of art in their childhood would execute their talent in the future as well to release stress. The interest in Creative Multimedia can also be developed through observation. Observation skill is very essential for a person to exceed in her life. For an illustration, cartoon companies like Disney plays a very important role. Through observing these cartoons, we can collect a lot of information and ideas for designing books, movies and also other media. Playing games also gives design knowledge and interest in Creative Multimedia. Experiencing the 3D animated games provoke us to explore more on this Creative Multimedia field as it attracts a lot of people’s attention to gaming industry. Other than that, we also have environmental surrounding as a sub-factor. Multimedia based surrounding is highly encouraged for a Creative Multimedia student for her to feel like a designer student. This environment gives them a secured and comfort situation for them to design a media. Most importantly, this environment gives them an interest in Creative Multimedia career field.

Everything that done without fun is something that is not committed and it’s not something straight from the heart. Fun is creative multimedia is also the same, it has no limitation and end. Every time we explore something new, it creates a new experience and fun for us.
