Design Principles for Effective and Accessible Multimedia

My tips on creating infographics.

I think templates can make the creation of infographics easier because they provide predefined layouts and design elements that I can modify as needed. However, using templates can limit the degree of customization, so it may be necessary to maintain some creative freedom while meeting needs. On the other hand, templates can speed up the creation process, making it more efficient. Secondly, the design principles of an infographic depend on the nature of the message and the target audience.

The infographic I created about beverages was designed to allow people to choose what they can drink at different times of the day when they see it. Of course, I made use of the template, which has clear and crisp images and simple images with uniform colors that are consistent with the chosen style. I think it allows the people viewing it to understand what I am trying to convey.

What does inclusive design mean to you?

I consider inclusive design to be a design philosophy that seeks to ensure that a product, service, environment, or system is accessible and usable for all people, regardless of their abilities, needs, or backgrounds. The goal of this design approach is to eliminate discrimination, exclusion, and inequality so that as many people as possible can participate and benefit.

When I run the WAVE accessibility report.

WAVE identifies informational elements in a document, such as headings, lists, links, etc., to help us understand the structure of the page.
It will also report accessibility errors and warnings that are usually found on a web page.

In the future, if WAVE accessibility reports were run on blog posts, a feedback mechanism could be created so that readers could report accessibility issues and then improve and fix them.

Multimedia Learning Theory

After making the video, I wanted my viewers to learn how to make the tart. However, when I learned how to make egg tarts, I also learned from the video resources provided in multimedia. So I think the more people who will, the easier it will be for the recipe to improve. Because everyone has different tastes, insights, and ideas on how to make egg tarts, this will provide more ideas on how to make them and thus improve the recipe.

In our perception of multimedia learning in this module, I think that the four principles of Meyer’s theory, the principle of redundancy, the principle of coherence, and the principle of proximity, are the ones that I intuitively seem to use.
In my video, I did not add any other irrelevant material to interfere with the view. Nor did I add background music to divert attention (redundancy principle). I provided text and images to help the viewer understand more easily (proximity principle). On the other hand, the steps of the production are clearly provided and coherently put together. The simplicity of the process makes it more motivating for the viewer to continue (coherence principle).
