An application of fundamental design principles, appropriate research and development methods and the ability to evaluate the communication of ideas are what you need. Designing for Digital Media is all about organisation. Once you have worked out what you want to do there is a range of systematic approaches that can be used to develop your ideas. Working to restrictions is essential. You will become aware of what you can and can’t do with the time and technology available. Live with it and learn to think creatively around the problems that you encounter.
