What is Design?
If we look at from the pages of Paleolithic (the stone-age) history, we will see that every thing created was a solution to some requirement…….!!!

Sometimes the invention just came to notice and u called it a discovery (Newton & his apple), and sometimes you discovered a need and invented a new product. (Steam-engine & R.L Stevenson)….. but they were all ideas and concepts at the beginning. Imagine if Orvil & Wilbur Wright would not have thought of flying, would we get Aeroplanes and Cheap Air- Travels for holidays. Design, what I perceive is same at the concept level. It mainly differs when you segregate in terms of profession as fashion, architecture, software, media and the rest. This is because the tools are different, the mediums are different, the jargons are different…..but you may ask what is similar then????

Design if you see in a very broad perspective can be created in two ways

a. Providing solution to a need………..
b. Up-grading the existing design…….

Design if you all agree, I would like to call it as saleable and customer friendly art, in one way. A design is a bad design if the ratio of people is not able to relate to it.
