Study Notes
Text Media
- Text is a human-readable sequence of characters that can form intelligible words.
- Types of text:
- Hypertext: links different electronic documents, enabling users to jump from one to another in a nonlinear way.
- Plaintext or Unformatted Text: fixed-sized characters with a uniform appearance.
- Formatted Text: appearance can be changed using font parameters (bold, underline, italic, font size, font color, etc.).
Design Principles and Elements
- Emphasis: importance or value given to a part of the text-based content.
- Examples: bold, italicized, heavier weight, enlarged, darkened, or lightened text.
- Appropriateness: how fitting or suitable the text is for a specific audience, purpose, or event.
- Proximity: the distance between text elements, with closely related elements placed together.
- Alignment: lining up text or graphics on a page, with elements aligned to a common position.
- Organization: a conscious effort to organize different text elements on a page, ensuring connection and separation.
- Repetition: consistency of elements, creating unity in the design through repeated typefaces.
- Contrast: juxtaposition and differences of subjects, using elements like color, size, and texture.
Visual Media
- Types of visual media: photography, video, screenshots, infographics, data visualization, comic strips/cartoons, memes, and visual note-taking.
- Visual design elements:
- Line: describes a shape or outline, creating texture, and varying in thickness and direction.
- Shape: a geometric or organic area that stands out due to differences in value, color, or texture.
- Value: the degree of light and dark in a design, with contrast between black and white and all the tones in between.
- Texture: the way a surface feels or is perceived to feel, creating an illusion of smoothness or roughness.
- Color: determined by its hue, intensity, and value, used for emphasis or to elicit emotions.
- Form: a figure having volume and thickness, with an illusion of a 3-dimensional object implied through light and shading.
Audio Media
- Audio media: uses audio or recordings to deliver and transfer information through sound.
- Characteristics and purposes of sound:
- Volume: the intensity of a sound.
- Tone: the audible characteristic of a sound.
- Pitch: how high or low a sound is.
- Loudness: the magnitude of the sound heard.
- Elements of sound design:
- Dialogue: speech, conversation, or voice-over.
- Sound effects: any sound other than music or dialogue.
- Music: vocal or instrumental sounds combined to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
- Principles of sound design:
- Mixing: the combination, balance, and control of multiple sound elements.
- Pace: time control, editing, and order of events (linear, non-linear, or multi-linear).
- Stereo imaging: the perceived spatial locations of the sound source(s), both laterally and in depth.
- Transition: sequence of sound track.
Motion Media
- Motion media: includes animation, video, live streaming, screencasts, and others.
- Elements of motion media:
- Speed: constant or variable, with movement aligned with the speed of the music.
- Direction: indicates movement from one direction to another, with background remaining in scale with the object.
- Motion path: the route that the object will take, showing change in direction of a movement.
- Triggers: key objects or events in the story.
- Timing: objective or subjective, used to clarify or intensify the message or event.

Description
Test your knowledge on the different types of text like hypertext, plaintext, and formatted text, as well as design principles and elements. Learn about how hypertext allows users to navigate non-linearly between electronic documents, while plaintext are fixed-sized characters with the same appearance.
