Blog Post #1: Multimodality and Multimedia

Multimodality, how I would explain it, is the use of multiple modes (such as text, images, sounds, color, etc.) to convey information or some kind of message.

An example of multimodality is this billboard, found on lamar.com via Google Images, incorporating text, image, and color to appeal to an audience. In this case, the audience is the drivers.

Multimedia refers to the platforms, mediums, and/or forms these modes are on to convey that information. Examples are video games, an article with a linked social media post, slideshows with audio/video.
