Design is creating ideas through philosophy, propaganda, science, storytelling and craft. It's about coming up with a solution based on needs and communicating the solution of those needs to the target audience.
This is how ideas, thoughts, messages or opinions are distributed to audiences. It can make people feel or think a certain way, It can help them make decisions on buying products or services and it can get people to think another way.
This is all created by knowing the audience, knowing their needs and wants and giving that to them in either a straight forward or subconscious manner.
Design isn't just ads and posters, it's so much more. It's everywhere. Clothing, buildings, products, technology, furniture, interiors, cities, countries even to how humans ourselves are designed, we couldn't function without design. The world would fall apart.
I chose to be a designer because I love to be creative. I love everything there is about design from coming up with an idea to executing said idea. I couldn't picture myself doing anything else, being creative is what motivates me. I want to design work that would inspire other people like designers inspire me.
When I design, I feel great about myself, like this is what I'm supposed to do with my life. I want to see my work and be proud of it, I don't want to have to regret it each time I see it. When I see exceptional design I feel inspired and I want to go home and draw or paint.
Even though there's a difference between art and design I still like to go back and forth between the two and create something truly amazing.
Quote of the week:
"Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus."
