Design constructs a visual
language for the purpose of communication. It organizes and gives
form to a message in a way that adds value and meaning. It
functions to organize, clarify, persuade, and add drama to an
otherwise overlooked idea.
Design plays a primary
role in the interpretation of a message. It creates the crucial
persistent impression. It encourages examination and generates
interest. Accessible, understandable information and beauty of
form can engage observers and arrest their attention.
A confusing, poorly designed
message will miss its target almost every time. In a world where
information flows abundantly, our minds have developed filters
to sift through the overflow of useless data. While design must
appeal to the aesthetic, it must not stand in the way of delivery,
cause complications, or introduce stumbling blocks.
Rather, the presence of design
should simplify and facilitate our everyday life, enable us to
accomplish our tasks more effectively, and remind us to enjoy
them along the way.
