|
| Graphical Design |
Exaggerated emphasis upon graphics
and special effects weakens the message and interferes with
the communication of content and ideas |
Graphical and multimedia elements
accompany content but there is little sign of mutual reinforcement.
There is no attention paid to visual design criteria such as
balance, proportion, harmony and restraint. There is some tendency
toward random use of graphics. |
Design elements and content
combine effectively to deliver a high impact message with the
graphics and the words reinforcing each other. |
The combination of multimedia
elements with words and ideas takes communication and persuasion
to a very high level, superior to what could be accomplished
with either alone. The mixture brings about synergy and dramatic
effects which reach the intended audience. |
