| Summary |
Digital and Web communication has become essential to the graphic designer. The expansion of the digital world has in many ways changed their overall role. Digital media and the Internet are so important in terms of communication that the designer must now learn to design for it in order to stay current with their own industry. The designer is now, however, able to experiment with multiple platforms. There is a world of options available. In talking with current professional designers and examining existing designer websites, I have discovered that good usability, navigation, and interaction are critical in terms of Web design, as is an overall theme or concept to tie everything together. I have applied these principles to my own website and marketing documents. I have compared the design process to that of travel, based off the quote by Rosalia de Castro, “I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.” A designer’s final concept never ends up where it was going originally; there is a process and a journey that changes and morphs an idea. This concept is carried throughout my other personal marketing documents.
