The document discusses the importance of considering all media types when creating a corporate design or visual image, not just the primary medium. A successful design amalgamates different media into a cohesive image while respecting each medium's unique characteristics and purpose. Key constants can be used across different media to reinforce the overall image, but exceptions may exist where function requires deviation from the overall design approach. The goal is not uniform assimilation of all media, but rather emphasis of each medium's purpose through a design that brings different media together into a unified whole.
