Abstract
Interaction Design, which is essentially story-creating and telling, is at once both and ancient art and a new technology. Media have always effected the telling of stories and the creation of experiences. (Shedroff, N., 1994, p. 2)
Advances with visual representations within broadcast design have been applied to areas such as weather simulations, sporting events, and historical reconstruction's. However, financial market information presentation is fairly uniform in television news broadcasting, showing little progression in pace with other news information categories.
While stock market news segments make limited use of supporting graphics, addi
tional information that may assist the viewer is filtered out, effecting viewers interest, understanding and decision making process often associated with market related stories.
Research to date has been limited to single visualisations. There has been little research into the use of multiple information views that are composed to support news presentations.
People use many different information sources on a daily basis. News sources are used to stay informed about events, to some sources, viewer evaluation of information is a part of that process. News information and other data commodity sources are now more accessible, allowing designers to look at ways of transforming them into new or improved information services.
This research explores the display of stock market information by looking at appropriate media delivery methods combined with Organic Information Interaction Design to enhance information relationships. Organic Design and Information Interaction Design 1 principles are combined. This denotes a 'living' relationship between elements, incorporating hierarchy principles with enhanced information delivery and user experiences. Four themes are tied together through the use of a conceptual prototype. [FROM INTRO]
