The actual project/product building stage.
• Production Manager- coordinates
the team/group
• Computer Graphics Artist- produces the actual contents for the development.
• Content Specialist- does the research for references and contents.
• Animator- animates the materials through a software or through series drawings.
• Script Writer- may initialize or base the dialogue on the story board.

Why?
This is done in order to make sure your product is good for deployment.
How?
Each stages of the animation are reviewed again and played in a manner that this actual animation is being deployed to its actual viewers.
Things being reviewed during Evaluation:
• Application design
• Sound
• Graphics and navigation
• Project goal and objectives
• Content accuracy
• Delivered via proposed medium
• Text and narration
• Legal considerations
Types of Evaluation
• Internal Evaluation
- the product is reviewed and tested by the people working inside the team.
• Alpha Testing
-product is tested by known individuals in order to determine if the general direction and structure are adequate.
• Beta Testing
-product is tested by potential users. Though limited, what matters most here is not the overall rate of the product rather than the user’s feedback and suggestions.
Project Revisions and Updates
What?
Makes necessary changes based on the results of testing.
Why?
Not everything is perfect and it’s really a great idea that the changes is based on the user’s feedback.
How?
The results from the evaluations are reviewed and then the development team makes revisions and changes to the actual product.
Project Documentation
What?
A method from which important parts of the actual product should have supporting documentations which will help it during development and during deployment.
Why?
References, there may be parts of the products which requires a tremendous amount of information in order to be determined and having a documentation of a particular topic will greatly be helpful.
How?
Contact Details
User Manuals
Content and Privacy Acknowledgments
Software/System Requirements
Project Development Docs.
Multimedia delivery product

1. Design Outline- Discussion about features and audiences.
2. Preliminary Design- Contents
Standards
3. Final Design- Similar with preliminary but with more details
4. Design Specs-answers the how of final design.
5.Graphic Bible - Collection of artworks.
6.Interactive Screenplay - dialogs and
other text based instructions.
Design Principles
The user interface is from which the user is able to interact with your product.
Structure Principle
contents should be clear and consistent for a target audience.
Simplicity Principle
Principles
User friendly design for user interactions
Visibility Principle
The storyline is easily identified by the audience
More Principles
Feedback Principle

Tolerance Principle
Follows that the product is flexible to sudden and immediate changes.
Reuse Principle
Artwork/ materials should be easily available for other projects.
SUMMARY
Excellent design would involve great planning.
The ten steps are essential for the success of a project.
Summary
There are six user interface fundamental designs from experts which includes clear and consistent designs.
Elements of designs are: Line, form, and color.
