Written words, numbers and symbols are categorized as the text, images,still or moving and sound are the three mediums which constitute multimedia. All the elements that contribute to multimedia are not necessarily present in every multimedia production. But, the use of computer technology to create and distribute them is common to all. Multimedia is widely used for education, business and entertainment. Multimedia is also frequently used on the internet. Notwithstanding its dependence on computer technology, theeffectiveness and appeal of multimedia depends to a great extent on the creativity of the people, who develop the text, sound and visuals that constitute the content of a multimedia production.
Multimedia productions almost always include text and graphics i.e. drawings, photographs, diagrams and charts and other visual elements such as buttons and arrows which enables the user the navigate their way through a multimedia production.

He has also to learn the tools and methods for different kind of still and animated images with the help of softwares.
