Philosophy
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. continued
