Interface: Empowering the audience

At this step, the interface controls are designed. Each piece contributes to the final integrated visual information design. The interface is the link between the computer and the user. It should therefore be easy to learn and easy to use. The two main ideas concerning user interface design is to

  • 1. Create a world in which the user lives when using your site
  • 2. Give users control over that world.

When it comes to the WWW environment, the interface is ultimately driven by the capabilities of the browser. Within the limitations of the browser, there is a world of choice in how user can access your pages, however.

With multimedia, you are bound only by the limitations of the hardware and your imagination.
