WHY DESIGN?

It starts with a pencil in our hand, facing a blank tracing paper, and expressing a puzzled look. Yes, this is what happens before beginning any of our design projects. What many of us fail to realize is that design is simply a lifestyle. It is who we all are, and what we all do on a daily basis. It’s all a matter of design; our skin, movement, speech, actions and everything else tends to fall within the boundaries of design. We live in a functional design every second of our life. Rather than striving for perfection and uniqueness, we should be striving for functionalism and practicality. As designers we have to provide humans with those essential features, or else we will just be providing ourselves with arrogance, ignorance, and satisfaction to our pride.
