Inge teaches her students to see in a abstract manner, not to see an object but to see round, square,texture or smooth and translate it into a form language. If you don't train the eye to see you can't come up with ideas if you don't "see" first. Limiting yourself helps you have a clear playground and helps you focus. You can make a negative area come to life with very little. Graphic design is seeing and envisioning; the eye has to move around enjoyable without getting stuck. It has to flow and work together with no unnecessary things getting in your way. She believed a that control of negative space is important.
She mentioned that letters are motion, a memory of motion form. The elements she said to creating typeface are: share a common structure, sufficiently distinct from each other ensure readability and lastly it has to have proper optical letter spacing to assure even rhythm and color. Inge also talked about information design and what elements a good map should have and how well it conveys the information clearly where as a bad map is cluttered and hard to understand. She spoke about the usage of hue, color, gray value and brightness to help define different information on a map because our eye is sensitive to distinguishing variation of color.
Inge stated the meaning of graphic design is visualizing an idea, drawing attention, informing, distance reading, symbolizing something and getting the essence of something.
