Graphical User Interface(GUI) and Interaction design are possibly the best examples of a balanced measure of communication design and computer engineering. My work in these area has been on the communication design side, taking the view that what is being created relies on good visual communication and a clear understanding of human cognition.

For the technicians who will write the code and build the systems this has meant providing good direction in the form of wireframes, system architectures and graphics standards documents.
