First Day!

Why is it important for Communication majors to study design?

Communication as a study can encompass journalism, public relations and media production... common theme: conveying information. 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.


Why does good design matter?

Good design is very important. Design, being a form of communication, must be able the express a thought, idea, feeling etc. By definition design is purposeful, good design will be able to fulfill its intended purpose and will be able to convey thee intended message properly.

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?
