Design: Achieving Unity Support
Over the past few months we focused on design elements and how to use these elements in our web designs. However, we still need to understand how these elements combine to form design principles. This week, we’ll view several sites to understand these principles, or design rules. By rules, I mean rules that can be broken, but only if we understand how they work in the first place. So, we’ll take these principles step-by-step, because each one is achieved through all the design elements.
Linda Goin
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
