3. Introduction
This unit covers the production of a digital showcase. It will cover a subject of your choice within the set scenario.
Interface Design

Script, Storyboards and Timings
Interactive Elements

4. Interface Design
First stage of design process. All based on your users. How will they use the product?

5. Structure and Navigation
A navigation structure is needed to show how you will start the product, and how you will get to, and from, each page.
There are three ways to structure your navigation
Linear
Mesh
Hierarchical

6. Linear Structure
In a linear structure, the pages in the multimedia are linked one by one by one Advantages Disadvantages

7. Mesh Structure
Every page can be accessed from any other page. “think of a room with a door going off to every other room”

8. Hierarchical Structure
A combination of them both
Information can be clumped together.
Combines organisation of Linear, but freedom of Mesh
