Blog3: "Design is..." Take One

Design is the freedom to convey creative expression.


At this point in the course, although I have learned a lot, I am still looking into exactly what view it is that I want to write my paper on. For the time being, I have decided that design as a whole is ones freedom to convey their own creative expression. This creative expression can span from being a form of visual art, all the way to more restricted design for things such as stationary. Although there are specific groups of people in society who are considered to be more visually conscious such as people in the architectural and graphic fields, each and every individual has their own way in which they can express their feelings through design, whether they choose to or not.

By the time I am able to write my next blog post on this topic I really hope to understand a little more fully what design means as a whole and outside of just my own field of graphic design. I'll have to make a point of looking into some professional designers in their own fields to see exactly what it is that determines their career as design based. Im also going to look further into what the difference between art and design is. I know that technically design is art with a purpose but clearly their is a better answer than that out there. Lastly I'm going to try and find out exactly where the line is drawn in the business world between the idea of design and just simply predefined templates.
