Obituary

(This obituary is fake and none of this content is real.)

Max Baker was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on November 21, 1996. He was a beloved family member of Eric and Corrine Baker. But his friends miss the most, particulary Marcus Lesch. We got a statement from Marcus Lesch. "Max was my best and only friend. I don't know if life can go on without him."
Obviously Max Baker was kind, passionate, loving young man. He attended Bethesda Christian School in Brownsburg, Indiana. He played basketball two years for Bethesda, and still managed to keep perfect grades. He attended Calvary Baptist Church in Plainfield, Indiana. His death was a shock to all. He will be grieved over for a long time. Max Baker wanted to continue on to become a BAU agent in the FBI. Late Tuesday night Max was walking home from school and was kidnapped by an ice cream truck that consisted of one white male and one black female. Max told his parents that he thought someone was following him the previous days but his parents blew it off. After he had been kidnapped they took him to an underground chamber and tortured him until his death. They threw his body on the railroad tracks hoping he wouldn't be discovered. The people we are looking for are still unidetifid and Max's family and friends have devoted the rest of their lives to find these sick people.

Multimedia

                                      
First I'd like to start out defining the word multimedia. Multimedia is media and content that uses many different content forms.
Now I'm going to answer the question "what type of multimedia can designers add to a website?"
-You can add videos, pictures, and audios to your website. This keeps the reader or viewer interested, you can show how things change over time or you can show how things work or how they are done. Thia is so crucial to the website because you don't want your viewer to get bored or tired of your website because why create a website if no one is going to use it?
Next I will answer "what influences the effectiveness of each type in conveying the website message?"
-Well say you want a creepy looking website if you were to add music you wouldn't add Disney music you wold want to add creepy music. So what influences it is what the theme of the website is.
Finally I am going to answer "what must designers consider when creating and using various multimedia in a website?"
-When using various multimedia in a website you should always be thinking about the viewers. You should be thinking what others want to see. If the website is appealing and what they want then they will want to use this website. If the website is unattractive users probably wont want to use it. You should also think about flow. The website should flow well. You should have a balance of media and words. You don't want your website to bore the viewer but you want to get your point across so a mix will keep the viewer attracted and continue reading and using the website.
