Multimedia art typically works with Animation and motion graphics such as for web, power point, and flash presentations. Graphic designers tend to lean toward print and agency work for ads, packaging, and informational design for static or still work, used for print.

Multimedia designer is a specialized graphic designer, they may do collaborative work with senior print graphic designers, web designers. Multimedia and web designers are often doing very similar production and technical work. Multimedia designer, needs more in depth understanding of audio, video, animation, motion, along with interactivity, presentation. Multimedia designers work on dynamic web sites, kiosk, computer based training, high end presentations. larger corporate clients or museum installations are clients, higher budget can be required, but some amazing innovation occurs on difficult budget.
Common traits of graphic designer and multimedia designer: passion for project, ability to sketch ideas, thumbnails, roughs, tights, and final sketch, story-boards, indicating type, color (transmissive vs reflective), and color profiles and color sync, file formats for images, sound, video.
On the business side understanding of creative rights, copyrights and contracts.
