`Personal Multimedia
`Remember whenthe promise ofpersonal computers wasjust that—bringing
`computer powerto individuals? People used PCsto create their own word
`processing documentsand spreadsheets, things that automated processes
`
`gramsthat let you create graphics pret- done by handoron large computers. Then, aboutten years ago, we got desk-
`
`top publishing applications andfonts andgraphics in
`documents. Suddenly anyone could create profes-
`sional-looking documents.
`Thesame thingis happening now in multimedia
`applications, with software designed to let almost

`programs have been available for professionals for
`sometime. Mostofthe publications and graphics you
`see are created in programs such as QuarkXPress,
`CorelDraw, or Adobe PhotoshoporIllustrator. But

`styles to your image.You can easily mix and match
`colors,textures, shading,and 3-D effects to create a
`unique image.And you can link graphics together,so
`that you can change them all at once,giving yoursite
`a consistent look. You can even attach things like
`specific HTML commands orroll-over text that pops
`up when you putyour cursor on the graphic.
