As I was creating my graphic/text multimedia project, I discovered several pertinent points to remember when designing multimedia instruction. It is important to consider how two mediums interact with one another. They can benefit each other, as each alone has limitations. However, I found it necessary to carefully combine the graphics and text to ensure that they weren't creating a hinderance in the message being presented. Since both text and graphic are taken in visually, their relation to each other, informationally and design-wise is something to consider. In general, I found creating instruction with multiple forms of visual media easier than with single media. For example, when attempting to use only visual media, it was difficult to portray a concept that required intellectual or cognitive response from the learner. But the text allowed me to provide the instruction. An additional benefit is that it provides for learners with different learning styles, as single media can fail to do.
