Abstract

This paper argues that the designer must successfully integrate visual communication design, information architecture and usability by purposefully designing for semiotic autopoesis; a fundamental dialectic between structure and function must be designed into the system and its use. This proposal requires good UX designers to design diachronic grammatical structures that can adapt and evolve whilst consistently providing a coherent synchronic experience under multitudinous variables. Good user experience design for digital media visual communication systems requires designers to paint with language and leave it wet.
