Form & Function


Visual Com­mu­ni­ca­tion
Visual CommunicationCom­mu­ni­ca­tion is the dynamic inter­change of thoughts or ideas through shared symbols.Persuasive imagery along with the psy­chol­ogy of color and its inter­pre­ta­tion from cul­tural to our deep­est repressed pri­mor­dial mem­o­ries plays an impor­tant part in the visual pre­sen­ta­tion and ulti­mately viewer response to pur­pose­ful visual cues.

Cap­ture the Mood
 Capture the MoodMood boards are used to illus­trate visu­ally the direc­tion of style we are pursuing.However, mood boards are used to visu­ally explain a cer­tain style of writ­ing, or an imag­i­nary set­ting for a sto​ry​line​.In short, mood boards are not lim­ited to visual sub­jects, but serve as a visual tool to quickly inform oth­ers of the over­all ‘feel’ (or ‘flow’) that we as design­ers are try­ing to achieve.Creating mood boards in dig­i­tal form and tran­scend­ing to phys­i­cal objects have a higher impact on peo­ple because of the more com­plete palette of sen­sa­tions phys­i­cal mood boards offer, in con­trast with the black & white or color-​prints of a dig­i­tal mood board.

Typog­ra­phy
Type Faces or Fonts, the text viewed daily, are images with their own nuances.Each vari­ant por­trays a word not sim­ply as a word, but a state­ment of the empir­i­cal and pic­to­r­ial rep­re­sen­ta­tion of mean­ing to the viewer — cog­ni­tive interpretation.

The sci­ence of typog­ra­phy is seen every day, yet is sel­dom noticed while deliv­er­ing the psy­cho­log­i­cal inter­pre­ta­tion and stim­u­lus of the message.

Visu­ally speak­ing type­faces like a pic­ture, speak a thou­sand words.
