Design

There are many, many types of design. That is one of the factors that got me interested in design. There is so much to learn on the subject, the techniques, styles, and just everything about it really. The type of design that captivates me is graphic design. Graphic design is the process of arranging words, graphics, colors, etc. into a form that conveys emotion and influences an audience into thinking a certain way about a topic. You know, like advertising and stuff. Web design is a lot like graphic design in the sense of arranging colors and graphics. However, there is another dimension to websites, in which you need flow to it. I believe they call it, ease of use, it is what makes all the great websites what the are. There is brand/packaging design. Obviously, logo and packaging colors make a brand. The whole idea of judging a book by its cover. Product design is about the look, feel, functionality of a product. Ergonomics and stuff like that. Interior design is the style and arrangement of your furniture, decorations and whatnot in your home. It has to be important with all those magazines dedicated to it. Fashion design, from what I understand, is constantly changing and the latest fashion is a mess to keep up with. Plain and simple, it is the process of creating new styles of clothing and pushing the envelope on fashion.
Design is a strong part of the world we live in and I am certain that it always will be.

  1. I certainly agree that design is a strong and important part of the world we live in. I like how you gave several examples of design and how different they all are but also at the very base of it they are all actually just the arrangement of shapes colors and designs. One suggestion, you should change the font color or background of your blog, it’s difficult to read.
