Week 3 - Research Site

After some considering and narrowing down my options I have chosen the AIGA student group as my area of study for this project. AIGA stands for the American Institute of Graphic Artists. It is a student and professional organization for graphic artists to network and communicate on topics about design. I am researching this site because of its involvement with my major (Visual Communication and Design) and also because of my interest and experience in web design. If I were to stop someone walking down the street and ask them about the group they would probably be somewhat interested. Most people don't realize how big a part graphic designers play in there every day life. I would how them any sign or website and tell them that without a graphic designer that sign or billboard would not be interesting and would not catch any attention. Saying this would probably start a conversation about where else graphic designers are involved.
