28 Mar WHAT IS DESIGN?
Design is everything!
Design makes ideas tangible. It takes abstract thoughts and inspirations and turns them into something concrete. It’s the start to realising dreams…
Design is not purely aesthetic, nor wholly analytical and functional. Design is diverse. When considering the design for projects, designers think about how everything fits together in harmony. It’s the first movement toward the space you want to live in, work in, and play in …
Design is human-centred. Designers care hugely about the people who will use the product, service, building or experience they are developing. This focus on clients and users inspires great ideas and ensures that solutions meet real needs. It is aspiring to comfort… beauty… innovation…
Design is collaborative. Clients, Designers, Consultants, Tradespeople everyone works together to bring the initial ideas and aspirations to life.
Design truly is everything!
“Design is about progress. It is the conceptualization and creation of new things: ideas, interactions, information, objects, typefaces, books, posters, products, places, signs, systems, services, furniture, websites, and more.
Designers imagine and make. They also research and think. Skilled in one or more specialties of the discipline, designers use their abilities in collaboration with others. Designers want to make ideas real and to make a difference.
A career in design is more than a job. It is a way of seeing; a way of interacting with the world. It is a way of life.”
