Design is a key component in conveying information and really is a form of communication itself. Communication majors must understand all facets of communication, verbal and nonverbal.

Favorite Design:
My favorite design is something I was exposed to very young. I now live in North Buffalo, right around the corner from a house designed by my favorite architect.
The Darwin Martin house, designed by Frank Llyod Wright. I love mission style/Frank Llyod Wright-ish designs.
Falling Water. One of Frank Llyod Wright's most well known works, can you say that's not gorgeous?
