What is design to me...
Design for me is a perfect plan. A plan that is executable,takes care of the goal or need and free of loop holes. It can be any field- even a housewife can have a perfect design while taking care of her daily chores.
Design is mainly a right mix of your cognitive, intuitive and common sense put together. Asking the right question is what makes a design perfect. One most understand always that a design is not an island by itself, it should work in sync with things around it. Not only with the user but also other products , tangible or intangible element.
Let me give some examples - Say you want to design a pencil. The question is not only a how the pencil works and how it will be held..there are other thoughts too..some basic questions like where will it be kept, its longevity, its interaction with other pencils in the box.. and then it will also solve bigger issues like sustainability, price points, USP of the product etc. A designer is considered smarts if he or she understand what are the right questions to be asked or may be the questions which no one has thought before would give them a different tangent to deal with the product.
On my next chapter we shall try to deal with the design process...
