Final Design Principle Reading Discussion


The last readings provided slim pickings for my use in creating the digital curation project. But two are most usable, Visibility and von Restorff Effect.

Visiblity is important in this context for access of the digital items. It will be clear and visible that one is to scroll down and that there are links or buttons to click on or that the way to view a video is to click on the arrow. Also, recommended devices like the cigarette disposal receptacle will have to be visible and recognizable for immediate recognition of purpose. The receptacle design I have now is not exactly recognizable.

The von Restorff Effect is useful in that more interesting ways of displaying items towards the middle of the scroll  will help to make them more memorable. This can be achieved by the unusual methods of advertising in the campaign posters and signs. Some are quite eye-catching.
