Different types of multimedia


Navigation Bar
A navigation bar is a user interface element within a webpage that contains links to other sections of the website. In most cases, the navigation bar is part of the main website template, which means it is displayed on most, if not all, pages within the website. This means that no matter what page you are viewing, you can use the navigation bar to visit other sections of the website.

Navigation Menu
The Navigation menu is basically a drop down menu located on the Navigation bar. When you hover over the navigation bar a drop down menu would appear and a variety of buttons will become accessible. 

Navigation Rollover The term rollover in this regard originates from the visual process of "rolling the mouse cursor over the button" causing the button to react, and sometimes resulting in a change in the web page itself.

 Animated Graphics The term "animated graphics" can cover many things, from flash SWFs to animated GIFS to banner ads. Basically an animated graphic, by the simplest breakdown, is any picture that has more than one frame and manages to depict movement of some form or another. Technically this includes animated TV, although when we think of animated graphics, we rarely think of cartoon shows and movies. In common vernacular, "animated graphic" really only applies to animated images for the web.

Animated GIFs
A type of GIF image that can be animated by combining several images into a single GIF file. Applications that support the animated GIF standard, GIF89A, cycle through each image. GIF animation doesn't give the same level of control and flexibility as other animation formats but it has become extremely popular because it is supported by nearly all Web browsers. In addition, animated GIF files tend to be quite a bit smaller than other animation files, such as Java applets.
 Web Banners Also referred to as a banner ad, a banner is a typically rectangular advertisement placed on a Web site either above, below or on the sides of the Web site's main content and is linked to the advertiser's own Web site. In the early days of the Internet, banners were ads with text and graphic images. Today, with technologies such as Flash, banners have gotten much more complex and can be ads with text, animated graphics and sound. Most commerce-related Web sites use banner ads.
Logo Graphics
Logos are used for the visual or graphical representations of businesses. They brand businesses and can help in the identification of a brand position in the mind of people. Logos also create a concept that encapsulates the ideal or flavour of what businesses represent. Logos are also used by companies and organisations to promote instant public recognition. A logo uniquely identifies the company to the customer as well as setting it apart from other businesses.
Screen Icons
An icon, is a picture which usually stands for a
computer program, computer file, folder, or an action for a program to do. Icons are usually small pictures, but not always. Sometimes the user can change what size an icon is.
BackgroundsOn your screen, located on a website, these go behind the content. They could be flat colour images, gradients, images or anything that you want, to add interest to the website.
Texture Graphics
Texture graphics are graphics that are used to create a good looking environment, like in a game a texture graphic would be used to create a road looking graphic.
This adds interest to a website or a game because it creates realism and a mood.
