The
2D images are used to present projects and works when presented
alone. 2D images are widely used on the net.
They can be the main elements in a page, or a supporting elements.
The methods of presenting 2D images are varied:
- 2D
images alone
- 2D images
aided with text
- 2D images
with Java effects; see next page
Again
in my webpage designated for the terminal project, "Library
of Leisure", the Context has a lot of 2D images.
The context is used to introduce the contextual issues and
information regarding the geographical location, traffic,
transportation, neighborhood, the site, and the building.
There are two ways used to present the information:
one is the traditional, drag-down method; the other
uses a map to navigate through the information.
Survey
Result
Most
of surveyees thinks the first method gives clear idea of
the background since it is sorted under specified categories.
The information is systematic; however, the process is passive.
The second approach is more interactive since it provides
viewers a chance to participate the information gathering
process which is more active. Both provide a better
understanding of the neighborhood in 2D images than in text.
Most of them preferred the second approach.
| Advantages |
Disadvantages |
- better
understanding of the information presented
- more
stimulation
- enable
to be incorporated with database and search engine
if the image size is small.
|
- not
enough stimulation
- lack
of interaction mostly
- sometimes
not self-explantory
