Fine Tuning the Media Dimensions

I have made an adjustment in the dimensions and media forms.  I will show it in class tomorrow.  The change is that:


    You start with space (3 dimensions) and get discrete media forms,
     you add the sequence dimension and you get textual media forms,
     you add the synergy dimension and you get integrated media forms,
     you add the time dimension and you get temporal media forms,
     you add the control dimension and you interactive media forms,
     you add the intelligence dimension and you get representational analogical media forms,
     you add the distance dimension and you get connected media forms, and
     you add the presence dimension and you get un-mediated virtual forms.


I have also added research as one of the intentions for communication design.  This can be academic research which is for the pursuit of knowledge, applied research which is for the improvement of processes or commercial research which is for the measure of audiences and financial success or the substantiation of a technique or content or the improvement of content for the purpose of making money.


Thus the intentions are:
information
connection
attention
research
persuasion
entertainment
expression

I am looking forward to your presentations.
