This Media Design project afforded me as a student the following opportunity: (1) to consider how design conveys meaning; (2) to employ design principles as tools of persuasion and navigation; (3) to select appropriate typefaces, fonts, styles, images, and image processes for use; (4) to demonstrate an appropriate utilization of space; (5) to create effective image and text combinations; (6) to create a grid that: a.) can be employed repeatedly; b.) enables the designer to provide visual continuity from page to page; and: c.) allows for design flexibility; (7) to represent (by means of visual design) issues or ideas; (8) to explore and expand technical and aesthetic abilities; (9) to produce representative materials for presentation; and: (10) to practice meeting deadlines.
