METHODS:
Sequences or sections		 When approaching a large graphic theme, as in print, the content will determine the design. However online, the medium's dimensions dictates need for consistent design and clear navigation for the best delivery method.

Three decisions to make:

1. Consider all the types other types of content now at your disposal - animation, photos, video, audio, google maps, a database. What combination of content will best illustrate your subject?

2. How will you organize the content - sequences or sections?

3. How will the reader move through the interactive? Where in print you consider the composition as you arrange the information, online the navigation will guide through the material and a theme or "vehicle" for transition will engage the reader to dive into your presentation.

Even if in a very crude fashion, plan out your structure and storyboard. Look at it as if you were planning a movie script and follow it through all the lines of the plot. You can then anticipate what the most appropriate navigation will be and make sure you don't back yourself into a design corner. Retrofitting is a bear!

TIPS
 Your online reader may consume your content "a la carte."
1. The navigation must be clearly give them a sense of all the offerings at first glance.

3. The presentation should not duplicate the story.
