INSIGHT
This project taught me how to balance structure and chaos in a design. Too much structure can be boring, and too much chaos can be messy. Good design should be easy to understand, while bold design should catch the audience off guard. As a general guideline, follow the rules of design and have just one element break the rules in a sensible way.
