Desktop Publishing
Category : 5th Class
Computer technology has increased the potency and power of the print media, making it far more visually stunning and internationally acceptable. The publishing industry has adopted multimedia techniques to make their products more slick and professional and their processes faster and more effective. Multimedia knowledge in the print and publishing industry allows the use of video and still images to be integrated into documents at the pre- print stage. Further, it allows the developer to view and review his product trying out various combinations, alterations and effects for font, layout and colour before he or she can finalize his/her publication. Multimedia also allows the printer to preview the different options before deciding the best choice for his or her publication. This eliminates most of the elements of uncertainty in the printing process. While desktop publishing traditionally meant print design, today it also embraces other forms of publishing including Web design, animation, video, audio, mobile delivery, and other rich media content. Desktop publishing software is increasingly integrating rich media content tools, making it easier than ever to produce complex content for multiple uses without specialized knowledge of HTML, Flash or other programming.
