design is

Design is everywhere and in everything that has been made, changed or altered by civilization. It has been manipulated to serve a purpose and functions in many different ways such as mass communication, urban development, engineering, self-expression and personal fulfillment. It has been helping business cultures such as hospitals and airports make their environment easy to navigate. It’s what made personal online banking possible, why Pamela Anderson has become a Canadian/World Icon and the reasoning why you purchased your latest ipod. Coming up with a single definition as to what design is has been a grueling process, for the single word in itself incorporates almost everything we interact and communicate with on a daily basis.

I’m looking forward to the development of what I believe design is over the next fourteen-week period. I believe as a designer the exploration as to what design is and what design can be, can open us to a world we have never thought or explored before. These different avenues I believe will have a profound impact in the way we think, develop and question the way we approach, interact and view design and its functionality.
