3 parts of multimedia courseware design:
- Information design
- Information design is the detailed planning of specific information that is to be provided to a particular audience to meet specific objectives.
- The information designer may or may not have available (or may create) an information architecture that defines the overall pattern or structure that is imposed on the information design and an information plan that defines information units and how they are to be completed.
- The output of an information design is sometimes expressed in written instructions, plans, sketches, drawings, or formal specifications. However, on very small projects, information design is likely to be much less formal.
- Interaction Design
- The practice of designing interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services.
- Its main focus is on behavior.
- Interaction design is heavily focused on satisfying the needs and desires of the people who will use the product
- Visual Design
- Visual design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas.
- The designer works with a variety of communication tools in order to convey a message from a client to a particular audience.
- The main tools are image and typography.
