(11) Digital Design Theory

This document is about putting text and images onto the screen in such a way that people want to keep looking at it and want to read what is on the screen. It is primarily based upon the contents of You don't have to be a Graphic Artist. Published by Communications and Public Relations Division of the Education Department of Western Australia, and Chapter 8 , System Messages, Screen design, Colour, and Windows , in Designing the User Interface by Ben Shneiderman (1987).

Things to remember before trying to get your message across:

Reading places a burden on the person who is going to look at your presentation. You must design your screen layouts to help, not obstruct the person in looking at your work. If no one looks at your work, no matter how great you may think it to be, you have wasted your time and effort! There are many places you can get design tips from. These range from books, magazines and, in particular, the Internet which abounds with sites where people have put down their ideas has how to create fabulous web pages.

Factors to pay attention to:

The following topics are those that you should consider in making designs for your presentations. They apply to the broad sense of publishing and equally apply to printed material as well as electronically published material.
* Layout
* Typography
* Illustrations
* Content
* Colour

Your imagination is the only limit in what you can achieve through digital design. Most experts however will take the time to learn the basic design rules, giving them a strong foundation from which they can be more experimental & innovative.
