With the rapid
development of multimedia electronic atlas, the problem in design field is more
and more visible. And it appears most serious in the interface design, because
it is shown to the user firstly while atlas being opened. In order to solve
interface design problems, this paper is divided into three parts to fetch
logical theories to the multimedia electronic atlas. It brings up some new
interface design methods under the logical theories by contrasting with the
traditional methods, and also shows some practical applications of the new
methods.
1. The multimedia electronic atlas interface design comprises of
the design of the atlas style, the arrangement of holistic layout, the choice
of the color tone, the design of all buttons and menus, and the harmony of any
multimedia mode in the multimedia atlas. At the first of this paper, some
traditional design methods of all the factors above are classified one by one.
2. Following this, some problems in the multimedia electronic
atlas interface design methods are concluded, such as the lack of consistency,
the mixed-up windows structure, the multimedia which work out of line, and etc.
For a further step, the essential reason of the problems above are mentioned,
such as the lack of research on theories, the blindness in projects development
and the systems design at random.
