  In the DVD that we watched in class this week (Week 1), the host told us that if we understand the principles of design then we can understand the message or meaning that designers are trying to communicate to us through their designs.
  Good design combines form and function well. Form is the appearance of an object or image, whereas function refers to the purpose, meaning or intent. Give an example of a poster or billboard design and describe in your own words what the form is and also try to identify what the function is. Does the form work well to promote the message?
