Design Basics: Boundaries

Conventional Media

Book size is fixed during production; can tell how big a book is.
Television size/length is fixed too --
Can't tell size by looking, but there are conventional lengths, and external aids (TV guide)

Web Documents

Size of collection is not fixed, nor apparent; no fixed boundaries
Can't tell size unless author helps
   --> Need to provide a clear overview of collection on homepage
Need to make boundaries of collection clear (use of graphics is common)
