Creativity leads to inventing new things which era; something that has never exist before, something that has already exist but we are not aware of and also a new process of doing something. When talking about creative, it gives us the impact of creating changes to culture and also as a satisfaction for individual or the whole society. Creative can best be described as the discovery of new ideas, concept and even association. Multimedia is media and content that uses a combination of different content forms. The term can be used as a noun (a medium with multiple content forms) or as an adjective describing a medium as having multiple content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only use traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. (Source: Wikipedia) Multimedia involves a lot of combination which are mainly from text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms. Multimedia has a wider scope since it is used in computerized and electronic devices which have a lot of software and applications which we can use to form an artwork. Examples of production by multimedia includes, video, graphics, illustration, 3D modelling, 2d animation, 3d animation game system, interactive media, still images and forms, or a combination of each and every one of it. It is also considered as a “rich media” since multimedia has a lot discovery in its term.

Computer graphics are graphics created using computers and, more generally, the representation and manipulation of image data by a computer. This kind of graphics involves people to skill software techniques in Illustrator, Photoshop, and other raster and vector programs. Skilling all of this software will be able us to create typography, visual arts, page layout techniques and etc. 2D animation is the computer-based generation of digital images mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. It is mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, technical drawing, advertising, etc.( Wikipedia).

Moreover, it specializes in many design multimedia contents which enables us to generate more creative artworks for the society. This is a very helpful tool because we can be professionals and have highly developed skills and knowledge in producing and developing creative multimedia content for online and offline purposes.
