Description
Summary:A method for multimedia presentation design is described. The method consists of design principles based on cognitive psychology, media selection guidelines that utilise definition of information and media types, validation guidelines for media combination and techniques for directing the user's attention in multimedia sequences. Contact points are proposed for design effects to link content themes across different media. The method is illustrated with a theatre booking application, and the techniques for attention design are described by experimental studies on a presentation before and after the application of the attention directing guidelines. Method validation studies are described briefly followed by a discussion of future work.
