Newfound Understanding

Through creating the PowerPoint I was alerted to several areas of consideration:

It would be useful if the banner indicated which part of the review is currently in view.

In web design there is a structure called the hierarchal tree. In this structure the users has the clear sense of moving up, down and across some information space.

The most important content should be included in both text and pictorial form.

Imagery should literally illustrate the article’s content.

A few navigational options, visible at the first glance. These are visually distinct from the primary content of the website.

This is an example of successful user interface design.

With regards to readability, both the typography, symbolism and colour should be considered.

Scannable layout - the content can be perceived with clarity as headings/subheadings/bullet points help make key areas distinctive.

Use the principle of focus well - draw the eye to the focal point.

As a user I felt in full control throughout navigation - it would be appropriate for me to use speech bubbles and callouts throughout my report to elaborate on key points, or to instruct the reader to visit a different section etc.
