Conclusion

I have argued that there are two enduring principles emerging from the nascent medium of Electronic Media. Principles that can and need to be taught even while the medium is in flux.
  1. Design of information is the first principle because without it and without a clear context, the information on the web site does not transform into meaningful communicable knowledge.
  2. Secondly we must design for accessibility because without it the transfer of information is partial and exclusive.
These principles will establish, the graphic design professional's web credentials as providers of quality design that enhances meaning.
