Plus: there is not any audio competing for all that text!

Coherence, oh no!

Delta- there are extraneous graphics and sounds. The woman waves when you hover over her, and a whistle toots when you hover over the next button. There are many screens with extraneous sounds, random animations and flashing lights. Distracting!

Signaling, well okay ....

Plus/Delta - the head icon in the blue box flashes or signals you to pick your avatar, but it took me a few minutes to realize that I had to click the arrows, not the actual head.... so there is a signal, not sure how helpful.

Redundancy, no thank you!

Plus: there is no audio, just this text-heavy direction screen. Delta: no images to support the text.

Spatial Contiguity

Plus: when you find an "energy hog", he pops up right on top of the offender with text right next to him, describing his dirty deed!

Temporal Contiguity

Plus: words and images are present at the same time. In the picture below, when you click on the refridgerator door, the hog pops out along with the Energy Hog banner and the description.
