As with any project you must have a purpose in mind. Be as specific as possible as to what you are trying to communicate or accomplish. Is this a promotion, for entertainment, or a piece to educate? Who will your target audience be? These same questions apply to any visual project. Next, assemble any existing materials that may help your designer understand your goal. These may include pictures, text, or other similar projects that you like. Do some research. Bring the materials when you meet with your designer and get ready for a rewarding adventure! Multimedia and web sites are interactive and can include sound and animation. They take careful planning - a job well planned..... After defining the purpose, structure planning starts with a flow chart to visualize the hierarchy, content areas and links. Then you can see what needs to be created, such as images, text, and sounds, to fill in the spaces.
