3.02E Designing and Development of Multimedia Titles

3.02 Demonstrate interactive multimedia presentations

Basic Design Guidelines

Basic Design Guidelines • Use no more than three different font styles and

sizes.

• Make colors consistent, harmonizing, and

appropriate to title.

• Use enhancements such as bold, italics, colors,

and shadowing to emphasis key points.

Basic Design Guidelines(Continued)

• Do not use underline, because of its

association with Internet links.

• Balance white space.

• End the presentation with a blank slide

containing only the slide design.

Planning of Multimedia Titles

The rule of thumb for multimedia development is 80% planning + 20% production = 100% success

Planning ensures a successful

multimedia project.

Planning of Multimedia Titles (Continued)

1.Develop the theme (concept or idea)What should be accomplished in a general sense?

Example – How to Use a Digital Camera

2. State the goals, objectives, and purpose

What specifically do we want to accomplish?

Example – Taking low-light pictures and downloading images to a computer

Planning of Multimedia Titles)

3. Identify the target audienceWho will use and see the presentation?

Target audiences can be categorized by demographics, lifestyles, or attitudes.

The more information known about the audience, the more likely the presentation will meet their needs successfully.

Example – Should the presentation target people who have never owned a digital camera?

4. Decide on the treatment

• Determines how the multimedia title will look and feel.

• Determined largely by the concept, goals, objectives, and target audience.

Planning of Multimedia Titles (Continued)

Treatment includes:Tone - Will the presentation be

serious, humorous, light, heavy, formal, or informal?

Metaphor – Will a comparison be used to provide interest or to aid in understanding?

Ex. - Comparing the complexity of building a house to building a Web page

Approach – How much direction will be given to the end user? A rule of thumb: children’s presentations need less options while adults’ presentations need more navigation options.

Emphasis – How much weight will be given to each of the various elements in the presentation?

5. Determine the specific elements to be used, where to place and possible playback system(s) needed

6.Storyboard projects including all navigation links.

A sample storyboard

with its navigational

links

Font colors, background color, and

other design ideas can also

be noted at this stage

Preparing Multimedia Titles (Continued)

7. Computerize multimedia title8. Create reference page and use proper

formatting based on: APA manual MLA manual Other style guides

9. Review the finished project for any copyright infringements

10.Test multimedia title

Originators of the presentations controlled what happened next

Linear presentations

Today

User interact with presentations and

control the flow and direction of the

information.

Non-linear presentations

Interactive Multimedia Titles (Continued)

Users use navigational or action buttons on screen or web sites to determine:• what content is delivered• when it is delivered• how it is delivered

Forward to next slide

Navigational Menu

Interactive Multimedia Titles (Continued)

Interactivity can be enacted via:

mouse clicks

mouse roll over

voice activation

keyboard

touch screens

Interactive Multimedia Titles (Continued)

In this example, the user can continue

on with this presentation

or

click on either the

Component A link

or

Component B link

and go in that alternate direction.

Interactive Multimedia Titles (Continued)

Continuing on with the original presentation without

selecting a link, users will see this slide.

OR

If users click on the Component A link, this will be

the next slide.

OR

If users click on the Component B link, this is the

next slide.

These images are used as links to a video clip.

Interactive Multimedia Titles (Continued)

As users continue with the presentation,

additional links can be encountered which offer

more choices and information.

This example provides links to two Word

documents that support the lesson.

User will click on the Word icon to view this

information.
