This site is meant to show my portfolio, demonstrate my artistic skill through academic and personal projects, share some info about me, as well as providing contact info. Multimedia is the expression of visual art, be it commercial, political, or just for fun, through multiple mediums with the intent of communicating a message. To me, multimedia represents endless possibilities, as far as visual expression, and is essential in keeping the more mundane aspects of advertising lively, or at least a little more humane.

My name’s Jonah Jackson, and I am currently a current student at Trident Technical College, pursuing my Associates of Applied Science in Commercial Graphics – Animation. I have been gradually building my portfolio, as well as working on personal projects involving illustrations and limited animation. Animation is actually a type of multimedia that, as I’m sure you know, plays image sequences together to create a cohesive visual experience, whether that takes the form of a cartoon, or a more serious commercial about life insurance.
This video explains how animation is used in multimedia and examines its importance.
Multimedia can be used as a great tool to help people understand certain concepts, information, and also, largely, can be used for entertainment. There is a surprising amount to learn and appreciate about multimedia and how it impacts the way we view the world around us.
