As discussed in class, design may not be everything, but it is everywhere. There is not a moment in your life where you are not surrounded by some type of design.
So, what is design?
Personally, I feel that design is anything that has been constructed for a purpose, or to solve a problem. It is meant to be seen by a large audience, and has been created to provoke a specific reaction. Nothing is ever designed without purpose. Design can be anything: posters, clothing, signs, buildings, furniture, movies, landscapes. No matter what is being designed, it was constructed that way for a reason. Even things designed by nature were made in a specific way to benefit or provide for its surroundings.
I do not believe that design is in no way a form of art. Though it was not created as a personal expression, it is still open to interpretation. Though a designer may be looking for a certain reaction from their audience, individuals are always going to understand things differently. Design, like art, is producing an emotion or feeling that will be interpreted by its viewer.
Design is part of a process. This process is determined by how the person thinks and works individually, and with others. I am positive that no two person's design processes are the same. We all think differently and need to follow different paths to create a unique design.
