 Web Content Management System

Electronic publication, often referred to as e-publication or digital publishing, involves the creation and distribution of content in digital
formats rather than traditional print formats. In the context of a Web Content Management System (WCMS), e-publication is closely tied to the
management and delivery of digital content on the web

▪ Electronic Publishing or e-Publishing can be defined as the process that makes use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) to deliver information products electronically to its users.
▪ E-publishing is helpful in producing documents containing text, static or dynamic pictures, graphics, audio,
video, and graphs.
▪ tables or a combination of any or all of these with the assistance of the Data Processing System.
▪ Nowadays, e-publishing has become more and more common to distribute books, journals, magazines, and
newspapers to readers through tablet reading devices.
▪ There are nonnetwork electronic publications such as reference publications such as encyclopedias and
reference publications relied on by most users.
▪ Today however network distribution is strongly associated with electronic publishing.
▪ Electronic publishing does not generate a hard copy, unlike Desktop publishing.

➢ The electronic publishing follows a traditional publishing process but differs from traditional publishing in
two ways:

1. It does not include using an offset printing press to print the final product.
2. It avoids the distribution of physical products, this is because the content is electronic and it may be
distributed through electronic bookstores. The users may read the published content on any website or on
an application tablet device or even as a pdf on a computer.

▪ Electronically published documents can be sent all over the world in a matter of seconds, which is a huge advantage to both reader and writer who does not
like to wait.
▪ Accepted manuscripts may get published faster. This method generally publishes work within a few weeks to a few months after acceptance.
▪ More flexible within the writer-publisher relationship. Electronic publishing affords more say to writers in preparing work for publication.
▪ Writers can update the text whenever required and with much ease at virtually no cost.. This is specifically helpful for works related to fast-moving
industries, such as computer technology. Since the publisher does not have any investment in printed books already lining shelves, texts can be electronically
updated in seconds.
▪ E-publishing often has a longer life with slower sales. While paper publishers will remove slow movers from active status (print) electronics storage afford
unlimited archiving.
▪ Works published electronically have an ISBN number, just as printed books. This means anyone can walk into a bookstore and order an electronic copy of the
book.

▪ With e-publishing writers normally retain all other rights to the work, such as the option to go to the paper publisher later, adapt a screenplay, or use the
work in some other capacity.
▪ Some might argue that the quality of writing of an e-published document doesn’t compare to that of paper documents. Many people aren’t aware of e-
publishing and others prefer reading a document from print rather than electronically.
▪ Writers are typically responsible for providing their own ongoing marketing for e-published work. A book might be good, but if nobody knows about its
content, it won’t sell. Authors also can’t count on the public seeing their documents on shelves or in store windows.
▪ Electronically published works do not always carry the same weight as traditional paper publishers. This may vary with time, however, as the industry
becomes more established.
▪ Writers don’t receive anything in advance. This is not just a financial disadvantage but might disqualify e-published authors from participating in certain
organizations where membership requirements include works paid by advance.
▪ Prices are not always significantly cheaper for e-documents, despite the lower overhead. This might be a deterrent to sales.

➢
▪ 2D animation refers to the creation of moving images in a two-dimensional artistic space.
▪ In other words, the animation occurs within the dimensions of height and width, without incorporating depth.
▪ This traditional form of animation has been around for a long time and is often associated with classic hand-drawn cartoons.

Key characteristics of 2D animation include:

1) Frame-by-Frame Animation: In traditional 2D animation, each frame is created individually. Artists draw or digitally illustrate each frame to
produce the illusion of movement when played in sequence.

2) Tweening (In-betweening): To streamline the animation process, some 2D animations use tweening, where keyframes are set, and the computer
generates the frames in between. This technique is commonly used in digital animation software.

3) Limited Perspective: 2D animation lacks the depth perception found in three-dimensional space. Characters and objects typically move along a flat
plane.

4) Hand-Drawn or Digital Illustration: Traditionally, 2D animation involved hand-drawing each frame on paper. In modern times, digital tools and
software, such as Adobe Animate or Toon Boom Harmony, are commonly used for creating 2D animations.

5) Examples: Classic Disney cartoons like "Snow White," "The Lion King," and contemporary 2D animated series or web animations fall under the
category of 2D animation.
 Web Content Management System

2D Animation:

1. Storyboarding:
▪ Plan your animation by creating a storyboard. This helps in visualizing the sequence of events.

2. Software:
▪ Choose a 2D animation software. Some popular options include:
• Adobe Animate
• Toon Boom Harmony
• OpenToonz
• Synfig Studio

3. Creating Assets:
▪ Design and create your characters, backgrounds, and other elements.

4. Animation Techniques:
▪ Traditional Frame-by-Frame: Draw each frame individually.
▪ Rigging: Create a skeletal structure for characters, making it easier to animate.
▪ Tweening: Define keyframes and let the software generate in-between frames.

5. Timing and Easing:

▪ Pay attention to timing and easing to make animations more natural and appealing.

6. Sound Integration:
▪ Add sound effects and synchronize them with your animation.

➢
▪ 3D animation involves the creation of moving images in a three-dimensional digital environment.
▪ Unlike 2D animation, which is limited to height and width, 3D animation adds the element of depth, allowing for more realistic and immersive
visual experiences.
▪ This form of animation is widely used in movies, video games, simulations, and various other interactive media.

Key characteristics of 3D animation include:

1) Three-Dimensional Space: Objects and characters in 3D animation exist in a three-dimensional space, with depth, width, and height. This allows for
more realistic and dynamic movements.

2) Modeling: 3D models of characters, objects, and environments are created using specialized software. These models serve as the foundation for the
animation.

3) Rigging: Once models are created, a process called rigging is employed. Rigging involves creating a virtual skeleton (a system of joints and bones) within
the 3D model, enabling animators to manipulate and control its movements.

4) Keyframe Animation: Animators set keyframes to define important positions and movements. The computer generates the frames in between these
keyframes, creating a smooth and realistic animation.

5) Lighting and Texturing: 3D animations involve the application of textures to surfaces, and lighting is used to simulate realistic shading and shadow
effects, adding to the visual depth.

6) Rendering: The final step involves rendering, where the computer calculates the images or frames based on the 3D scene, lighting, and textures. This
process can be computationally intensive.

7) Examples: Animated movies like those produced by Pixar ("Toy Story," "Finding Nemo"), video games with realistic graphics, and architectural
visualizations are common examples of 3D animation.
 Web Content Management System

3D Animation:

1. Storyboarding:
▪ Similar to 2D animation, plan your 3D animation with a storyboard.

2. 3D Modeling:
▪ Create 3D models of characters and environments using software like Blender, Autodesk Maya, or Cinema 4D.

3. Rigging:
▪ Build a skeleton or rig for your 3D characters, enabling movement.

4. Animation:
▪ Animate by manipulating the 3D models over time. Keyframes play a crucial role.

5. Lighting and Texturing:

▪ Add textures to your models and set up lighting to enhance visual quality.

6. Rendering:
▪ Render your animation frames using the chosen 3D software.

7. Post-Processing:
▪ Use post-processing tools or software to enhance the final look of your animation.
