Design?

Benefitting from design is quite simple. Design is everywhere. It is easy and accessible. It can be aesthetically pleasing, and can encourage us to visually think. Design is a subject, it is a plan, and also a blueprint of a pattern. Design is the rough draft to the final project. Design is the art behind the work, the thought process. Everything is a process to make, but design allows a person to create an edge or an accent to something ordinary to make it extra-ordinary. Design can be used to refer to something as small as a salt shaker to something as large as an entire city. As an artist, I believe that design can be summed up in a word. It is an experience. The experience of envisioning something that wasn’t there, envisioning a way to change this to that, a way to believe that design is both practical and beautiful. Aesthetics is everything, because all human beings are very visually judgmental. Design can be the first process into helping make something practical. Design is a very versatile word. It can be a drawing, and idea, a painting, a pattern, a special way of doing something, or the outline of a plan. It is virtually impossible to find a definition. It is also equally impossible to find a place lacking design. It is the blueprint of our world, and the plans and ideas needed to make originality flourish in the future.
