Design

At this stage in your project, you have collected information about your proposed system, and decided what it is likely to do. Moreover, you understand the details of the design process, as well as the cognitive abilities of your users and the capabilities of current computer systems. You are now at a stage where you can think about designing your system.

We will use the World-Wide Web as our design environment; it is worth reviewing the information on designing on the web.

If you are intending to use icons in your system, or indeed graphics of any sort, there is relevant information available in the form of text and a miniproject.
