Greetings all:
The best way for me to describe the week four readings is to use the acronym K.IS.S; Keep It Simple Silly.
The idea behind this week is to only utilize text and graphics that are absolutely necessary for your presentation and design work. Images or animations that have no meaning should be removed and replaced with data or visuals that add value, create a relationship, or show process depending on your topic. Lastly, visuals and descriptions should synchronize and correspond near each other. Distance between them creates extraneous processing. This creates a capacity issue to mentally integrate your material. Have a great weekend!
Cheers,
Travis
Hi Travis,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that K.I.S.S. is a great acronym to describe this week's readings! I'm sure I'm not alone in being able to think of many websites that get a little over-exuberant when it comes to including multimedia. Lots of fancy videos and animations and graphics doesn't necessarily make it better! Often, less is more when it comes to communicating a point.
