Visual Communications is about conscious communications. This project examined the larger role that graphic design plays in society and equips designers to become participants in the world at large. To paraphrase Bruce Mau, this course is less concerned with the world of design, and more concerned with the design of the world. As a designer and communicator, I was asked to consider my own role in society, examine my value systems, and develop distinctive voices. The project focused on storytelling, collaboration and authorship.

I told a story of the close to death experience that my mom had after taking herbal supplements that claimed to be natural and safe. I realized that my mom was not alone in being a victim to the unregulated herbal supplements and that through graphic design I could tell her story. I was determined to help educate people about these potentially harmful products through storytelling and statistics. Through visual communications I helped educate people about the facts, as well unveil the myths that they might have about herbal supplements. Through the project I was able to discover the idea and concept for my thesis: educating people to stop and think about what they are actually putting in their bodies, eat more of the right foods and swallow less manufactured pills to stay healthy.
