WEEK 5 : 12 March 2014
Dr. Jamal gave lecture on "Designing for Multimedia". In Jesse James Garret book, he describe in detail about multimedia design.
To make a good multimedia design we have to follow this step information design --> interaction design --> user interface design. User interface design (UI) is the last process in designing a good multimedia. A good multimedia design is important to attract end user with experience and interaction.
Information Design is the practice of presenting information in a way that fosters efficient and effective understanding of it. The term has come to be used specifically for graphic design for displaying information effectively, rather than just attractively or for artistic expression. Produce a complete specification of all media elements and interactivity. So that a person who creates the structure or map of information which allows others to find their personal paths to knowledge. It is an area concerned with understanding reader and user responses to written and visually presented information.
Interaction Design is a human–computer interaction, and software development, interaction design, often abbreviated IxD, is "about shaping digital things for people’s use", alternately defined as "the practice of designing interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services.
User Interface Design (UI) is the process of ergonomically and strategically presenting media in order to communicate a message. Its a way a computer program communicates with end user. The message can be informational, emotional or navigational. Good user interface design facilitates user interaction with functionality.

In class Dr. Jamal gave us an article to read and discuss within our group. We discuss 3 types of principle of design :
a) Contrast
b) Unity
c) Repetition / Consistency
a) Contrast
b) Unity
c) Repetition / Consistency
Repetition / Consistency
The Principle of Repetition states, "Repeat some aspect of the design throughout the entire piece." The repetitive element may be a bold font, a thick rule (line), a certain bullet, color, design element, particular format, the spatial relationships, etc. It can be anything that a reader will visually recognize. You already use repetition in your work. When you make headlines all the same size and weight, when you add a page number a half-inch from the bottom of each page, when you use the same bullet in each list throughout the project - these are all examples of repetition. What beginners often need to do is push this idea further - turn that inconspicuous repetition into a visual key that ties the publication together. Repetition can be thought of as consistency: As you look through a sixteen-page newsletter, it is the repetition of certain elements, their consistency, that makes each of those eight pages appear to belong to the same newsletter. If page 7 has no repetitive elements carried over from page 4, then the entire newsletter loses its cohesive look and feel. But repetition goes beyond just being naturally consistent - it is a conscious effort to unify all parts of a design. |
Homework
Before Dr. Jamal end the class he gave us homework to find other principle of design to be discuss in next class. He ask us to choose any 2 principles of design and discuss in blog. The discussion you can see in Activity 2.
