Including interactivity such as buttons and animations in a document can both engage and distract an audience. It makes a piece of informative text more exciting and interesting to read, however, the extra additions could also distract the user from the information given. 

What you need to consider whether the application is too interactive to be distracting. This can depend on what animations/interactive features are used. For example, buttons and navigation in an application can be useful and positive, whereas over using quirky animations can pull the audiences attention from the subject. 


After completing my project, I have found many things from working with both print documents as well as screen files. A more complex description of everything explored below can be seen in my first post linked here.

The main thing, obviously, is that size changes dramatically when moving graphics from print to screen. The graphics now have to fit to a screen rather than a physical sheet of paper, and this brings changes in the sizes of text, images, and other graphics. 

Text needs to change to be more legible on screen- it is suggested that you increase text from print by 2 pixels to make your text user-friendly. 

Images need to be seen clearly, and this is helped by the change in resolution I did when moving to screen- from 300ppi to 130ppi. The colour settings changed as well, from CMYK to RGB on screen. 

Over all I think I changed my graphics, images and text to make the best products I can.

A logo is a vital part of any company's design. It is a representation of the company in it's simplest form, using sometimes just a simple mark to create a recognizable image. This can represent a story, the company values, and much more. Logo's go back in history not only for company, but also for religious symbols such as the crucifix and the Islamic crescent moon and star. 

A good logo is a recognizable image, which means being consistent throughout products and throughout time (like coca cola pictured below). Depending on the company, logo's should be simple and effective, use good typography, all while being relevant to the specific company.
