The transfer of information is paramount in design. Technology has made it possible to consume a mass of information in minimal time – is your design helping the flow of this information, or hindering it?
We create the content involved in communicating the information. TEXT, IMAGE, SOUND, PRODUCT We organize by using relevant design principles to communicate effectively. COLOR, VALUE, CONTRAST, BALANCE, PROXIMITY We facilitate by building environments in which information can be transferred. WEBSITE, APP, BOOK, MAGAZINE, POSTER, AD DESIGNERS = COMMUNICATORS
They desire for knowledge and/or pleasure. They visit the environment to receive the information. They interpret the content, tone, and personality conveyed. USERS = RECEIVERS
