1.2. Concept

Learning Objectives

You will be able...

...to define the content of an arbitrary planned application.
...to list at least two aspects that have to be considered when planning the layout of an application.
...to list at least one hardware and one software problem that may occur when using a multimedia application.
...to create a time schedule for a planned project.

Introduction

After having defined the target audience and the aim of the project, we can continue with the concept phase of the project.

In this phase the content and the layout of the application have to be defined. We also have to make a decision about the technique that will be used for a project. Concretely the hardware and software components have to be defined.

An important part of the concept is the time schedule which includes all the steps that have to be fulfilled from the beginning until the end of the project and the estimated time that is needed for each phase.

In this unit we go through the following points which are all part of the concept phase:

Content
Layout
Technique
Time Schedule

In the technique section we dwell on possible software and hardware problems that have to be considered when planning a multimedia application.
