Design can have different connotations in different fields of application. To understand what design means to different people, lets ask them.
Delft describes it as a verb first and noun later. Design is a process, as well as a product. Designing is as important as the design. Creating things with a sense of purpose that adds meaning and value to people is what design truly is. Because designing is about creating new products, there is never a single right answer at the end of a design project. For a single design problem, there are many possible solutions.
According to professor Paul Heckerd of Delft University,
“A product is a means to an end and end means how it relates to people and is related to people.”
When do you consider design valuable? 🤔
🔦 When it offers people ability to do something
🔦 When it gives you an experience which is desirable (=intended)orappropriate and accessible.
