Don P. Overmyer, Assistant Professor
The form that a successfully designed
object takes should be determined by its
content and intended use. Through the
study and practice of graphic design, the
visual communication of ideas and infor-
mation can be made more effective by
presenting them in an appropriate, more
aesthetically pleasing form. Design is a
process that states the problem, recog-
nizes the purpose, and organizes the com-
ponents. This process involves the formal
principles of composition-line, form, scale,
rhythm, and color, the technologies of type-
setting and printing, the art of typography,
and most importantly, ideas and creativity.
