Orientation: X marks the spot.

Your users need to know where they are in the project. How do they know what information is available and where to find it? Your screens are the graphic and verbal directions.

Well designed multimedia is simple. Do not overload your screens with visual garbage that interferes with the user accessing the information they seek.

Visitors should always know the context in which they are operating. For instance, check out the MENU for this site at the left. You can see where you are in the course visually.

Consistency means predictability!
