Visual Design
One of the main mediums we use for conveying information is the visual medium. Many of use are visual learners or multi-modal learners where one of our modes are visual. Many of use produce documents, websites, wikis or blogs but do we consider the principles of design.
This is a really good website that provides us with illustrations of the different aspects of design and the exemplars are great.
