Photography Questions

1.  What is meant by White Balancing a camera?
Because light appears as different colors, White Balancing a camera is essential to make your photos the correct color.  White Balancing a camera makes it add the opposite color to the image to make the color temperature neutral.  When the White Balance is off, whites appear to be blue or orange.  
2. What is considered the "golden hour"?
Golden hour refers to the time just after sunrise or just before sunset.  It isn't actually 60 minutes, as the length depends on where you are, what time of year it is, and the weather conditions.  The light at these times appears magical.  Why is this?  Well, the light at this time is in the yellow range of the light spectrum.  It also has to travel through more atmosphere than when the sun is at different points in the sky, so the light is softened and reduced.  
3.  What is the color temperature of daylight, and what is its general hue?
Daylight's color temperature is 5600K at noon, but this varies throughout the day and according to weather conditions.  This light also gives off a white/blue hue.

Wireframe For Website

The new bakery in town, "Main Street Sweets," has commissioned me to design its online presence.  Its mission is to be a homey and comfortable spot for teenagers or adults to hang out at or bring homework or work to.  They also have an event room to host birthday parties, small groups, study groups or other events of that type.  The main purpose of their website is simply to display their goods and the atmosphere of the place.

Well multimedia is the combined use of multiple mediums of communication or artistic expression.   Marketing heavily uses multimedia.  Commercials use video, audio, and often animation and text as well.  Advertisements that appear on apps or websites also are multimedia as they contain text, graphics, animation, and often audio as well.  Social media is a very common use of multimedia.  You probably have various social media accounts or at least have used some form of it in your life.  Most social media apps use text and graphics as their main medium of communication, however...
