Abstract :
A method for multimedia presentation design is described. The method consists of media selection guidelines that utilise definition of information and media types, and techniques for directing the user´s attention in multimedia sequences. Contact points are proposed for design effects to link content themes across different media. The method is illustrated with a theatre publicity application and the techniques for attention design are described by a medical training application. Method validation studies are described briefly followed by a discussion of future work
