Text A What is Design?

Unit IV Design. Types of Designers - student2.ru Unit IV Design. Types of Designers - student2.ru

Design is the planning that lays the basis for the making of every object or system. It can be used both as a noun and as a verb and, in a broader way, it means applied arts and engineering. As a verb, "to design" refers to the process of originating and developing a plan for a product, structure, system, or component with intention. As a noun, "a design" is used for either the final (solution) plan (e.g. proposal, drawing, model, description) or the result of implementing that plan in the form of the final product of a design process. The final product can be anything from socks and jewellery to graphical user interfaces and charts. Even virtual concepts such as corporate identity and cultural traditions such as celebration of certain holidays are sometimes designed. More recently, processes have also been treated as products of design, giving new meaning to the term "process design".

The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). Designing often requires a designer to consider the aesthetic, functional, and many other aspects of an object or a process, which usually requires considerable research, thought, modelling, interactive adjustment, and re-design.

A design process may include a series of steps followed by designers. Depending on the product or service, some of these stages may be irrelevant, ignored in real-world situations in order to save time, reduce costs, or because they may be redundant in the situation.

Typical stages of the design process include:

Pre-production design

1. Design brief - the beginning statement of design goals.

2. Analysis - analysis of current design goals.

3. Research - investigating similar design solutions in the field or related topics.

4. Specification - specifying requirements of a design solution for a product (product design specification) or service.

5. Problem solving - conceptualizing and documenting design solutions.

6. Presentation - presenting design solutions.

Design during production

1. Development - continuation and improvement of a designed solution.

2. Testing - in-situ testing a designed solution.
