Screen‐based information design: Eforms

Abstract

The study surveys and delineates the processes involved in screen‐based information design. This is specifically in relation to the creation of electronic forms and from this offers a guide to their production. The study also examines the design and technological issues associated with the transfer, or translation, of the printed form to the computer screen. How an Eform might be made more visually engaging without detracting from the information relevant to the form’s navigation and completion. Also, the interaction between technology and (document) structure where technology can eliminate or reduce traditional structural problems through the application of non‐linear strategies. It reviews the potential solutions of incorporating improved functionality through interactivity.
