Design is?

Design is an expression of emotion using creativity and a goal in mind to communicate with others. A plan and research is often needed to create a design and because of this it gives great meaning and purpose. It is limitless and is general because design is everywhere.

Design is important because it can touch people from within. It is its own language in itself and sometimes it does not need an explanation. You can sense the emotion and reason behind it when looking at it and it can affect you greatly. It is another form of communication that people may not be able to express with words but through their creativity. An individual who has had great thought to construct it creates design. It is not created from thin air because it is created from a source and sometime various ones.

When I experience good design I want to share it with the world. It fascinates me and it can occupy my mind and thoughts for a long time if it has truly spoken to me in a way other designs have not. It excites me to know that I am living in a time where everything is affected by design, because it is a lifestyle.

I chose to be a designer in grade 9 because I am not only a visual person but I enjoy using my creative mind. I took art every year in high school and I loved it. I always had the urge to express myself through design. Using my creative skills to tackle on a problem has always interest me.

When I design I feel a great accomplishment but most of all happiness because I enjoy it. I learn about design more each day and my knowledge has helped me with my creations. I love planning and then executing my ideas to create my designs. It allows me to think outside the box because with design you can be as creative as you can be. Design is about using your imagination and letting your mind run free.
