The visual design workshop provides students with techniques which can be used to create/evaluate visual designs and the techniques can be used to identify changes which will improve visual harmony. Also, visual elements which are used to create compositions are described in detail. The visual elements are value, color, color intensity, texture, line, and shape. In addition, the golden mean and fibonacci sequence are explained and how they can be used in the design process.  

Tips and techniques are provided which can be used to design adventures. The potential benefits from attending this workshop are the following: 

• Learn how to design adventures which are exciting, challenging and rewarding.
• Learn how to determine the needs and abilities of participants involved with your adventures. 
• Learn how to design adventures which includes activities that are tailored to each participant.
• Learn how to manage physical and emotional risks.
•  Learn about adventure sports; how to choose a sport and how to maximize the experience for yourself and others.  

Tips and techniques are provided which can be used to design family/business related projects (e.g. remodel, wedding, business project). The potential benefits from attending this workshop are the following:

• A family can learn how to design a family-oriented project (e.g.  home remodel, wedding, dinner/birthday party) which optimizes harmony  for each family member who is involved with the project. 
• An employee, in conjunction with their supervisor, can learn how  to design a work-related project which optimizes harmony for the  employee. An employee who is in harmony with performing tasks for a  project; is an employee who is more likely to be motivated and  enthusiastic. Employee motivation and enthusiasm are important factors  that can determine the success or failure of a project.  
• Family members and employees can learn how to identify potential  problem areas in regards to project management. Techniques from the  workshop can identify a potential problem area by dividing a project  into subcomponents and analyzing each subcomponent for imbalances. If an  imbalance is identified then the imbalance can be addressed and  corrected. 
• Supervisors can learn how to reduce turnover. In other words,  employees who are more in harmony with performing work-related tasks for  a project; are employees who are less likely to resign.
