Designing must be done for monochrome and colors should be added afterwards Color codes should be consistent Keep lower resolutions in mind User Facilitation The user guidance system (like on – line help, error messages and manuals) should be integrated with the user interface Animation Walt Disney created Animated objects Mickey Mouse Donald Duck Animate mean bring to life Animation How we perceive motion Persistence of vision (1/25 seconds) Kinematics Study of movement and motion of the structure that have joints (without consideration of cause of motion) Human Robots / Robotic manipulators Animation Types Cel Animation: based on changes that occur from one frame to another.
