Design Theory
Design and Creative Software
Design theory encompasses the academic and conceptual frameworks underlying visual and structural design decisions, including color theory, Gestalt principles, typography, semiotics, and composition. It provides the 'why' behind design choices, giving practitioners a vocabulary and rationale for critiquing and defending their work. Design theory is typically taught in formal art and design education and underpins more applied practices like UX and graphic design.
