Design is practical and a creative development process that has many different layers that all come together in the process of designing a product that helps its users achieve their goals. The scoop and scale of the design process varies from one product design to the next and therefore the process itself contains slight variations in how the product is implemented and designed for a specific user. Understanding what the product will require and how it is going to be used by a specific users is fundamental to designing the most effective and efficient representation of the design model. One of the best methods of doing this is to use the user-centered design, i.e. involving users throughout development, but clearly defining who the user is and making sure that you can allow them into the design process will help in the evaluation and overall design of a new product the most. This is because if the user is likely to use the product on a daily basis or has used a similar product in the past on a regular basis they will know the requirements that it needs to have, and be able to analyze what requirements might make it that much better, if they were to be added to the design of the product. The designers throughout the process can make suggestions as to what they think is necessary in the product design and possible tell the group of users what the capabilities could be of a very new and innovative product, underlining all of the possibilities that are possible for implementation. Three Fundamental aspects of design: understanding the requirements, producing a design that satisfies those requirements, and evaluating the design.
With all of the fields of design out there in this day and age, for example, graphic design, arch...

...will be using the app to design it around someone who actually plans on utilizing the design.
Designing alternatives: actually suggesting ideas for meeting the requirements. Prototyping, involves designing interactive products. The most sensible way for users to evaluate such designs is to interact with them, this can be done through prototyping. Evaluating is the process of determining the usability and acceptability of the product or design. The evaluation process includes: errors users make using it, how appealing it is, how well it matches the requirements, for some examples. The purpose of this is to make sure that the final product is functional for the purpose or purposes that it was created. Three Fundamental aspects of design: understanding the requirements, producing a design that satisfies those requirements, and evaluating the design.
The Target Corporation prides itself on their department store roots with a constant obligation to great prices and stylish originality. The main focus of every Target store is the customer, whom the corporation refers to as a "guest", making them feel more personal. Each guest can expect to walk into a clean, organized, and easy to navigate store with "high quality, stylishly designed items plus all the essentials for his or her life".1 The company also has a significant focus on design. The company employs a "design for all" strategy that says great design is for everyone to enjoy, everyday. The product designers know how to create products you will "love to live with and low prices you can't live without".1 The commitment to design has become a key technique of attracting and keeping their shoppers coming back.
“Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions, there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated.”(Rand, Paul)
Not just designers, but also other artists that influence our daily lives like architects and animators and industrial designers. Practically any field you could possibly think of.

The fact is currently there are no more technological constraints. Therefore, we just need to have a group of designer who have a have strong vision to make a decision and accept the role of leadership. The importance of this position is clear in an example that Petteri Kolinen said in the European Design Innovation Summit about his Nokia experience, “This led to slowness in introducing new products, and much more conservative decisions. The company dropped from being a front runner into a follower position.”
A bachelor’s degree in graphic design or a related field is where a student would start. Though, if a student goes into another field, it would be beneficial for him or her to pursue technology training to meet hiring qualifications. The National Association of schools of Art and Design have 320 accredited post secondary colleges, universities, and independent institutes with programs in art in design. Most of these schools include studio art, principles of design, computerized design, commercial graphics production, printing techniques and website design. A student should also consider taking classes in writing, marketing, and business to get an edge in this occupation. Many designers can also gain their experience first-hand by doing an internship. Portfolios are a necessity as a designer, because it shows the client the talent and experience that the designer has. A designer should keep up with the latest software to stay in the competition and not lose the competitive edge with other designers. There are prominent qualities that an employer should look for when considering hiring a designer; these qualities include analytical, artistic, communication, computer, creativity, and time management
Design has established itself as core elements in societies helping countless communities build infrastructure, invent new ways to better living conditions and create design desirable for consumption hence bettering the economy. Though this is a positive, most designers of the 21st century use their skills and their designs alike for those who can afford it; designing for what’s in fact the minority, 10% of the world’s population. The reason why developmental aid and design for development is essential to improving standards of living for those who live in developing countries, but to also bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. Ilse Oosterlaken (2009, p.100) equates most designs for development that use a `participatory' process as having a limited, user-centred approach; and suggests instead a more universal design approach, which she calls ‘capability sensitive design’. This essay will illustrate designs that have contributed to developmental design through capability sensitive design approach, considering sustainable design that are not only better the environment, community health and social welfare but the country’s economic standing. Through evaluating each example’s potential for real, sufficient, diverse and lasting value for the targeted users we can determine each design’s efficiency.
Design thinking process has eight generation stages: observation or analysis, framework, imperative or facts, solutions or alternatives, alternative evaluation and concept selection, implementation, construction, and post occupancy evaluation.
Focus shall be on utilizing pre-production tools while developing the prototypes. Actual material, wherever possible, shall be used in the development of prototypes rather than having substituted parts. Make the prototypes as closer as possible to actual outputs.
This article review forms part of a report, the intention of this literature is to review five articles namely; “Socially Responsive design: Thinking beyond the triple bottom line to socially responsive and sustainable product design” by Gavin Melles, Ian de Vere & Vanja Misic, published in 2011, CoDesign, Vol. 7, No. 2-4, “A “Social Model” of Design: Issues of Practice and Research” By Victor Margolin and Sylvia Margolin, published in 2002, MIT Press, Vol. 18, No.4, “Rethinking Design Policy in the Third World” by Sulfikar Amir, published in 2004, MIT Press, Vol. 20, No. 4, “Design for Children’s Behaviours in Daycare Playgrounds” By Nathan H. Perkins and George Antoniuk, published in 1999, Alexandrine Press, Vol. 25, No. 1, lastly “The Politics of the Artificial” By Victor Margolin, Published in 1995, MIT Press, Vol. 28, No. 5. By reviewing these articles this paper will expose the social responsibilities of a ‘product’ designer, by looking into the history and context of social design. This paper will further bring forth the “ideal” characteristics of a socially responsible ‘product’ designer, and look into participatory design as a methodology for the socially responsible design process.
Art and design are huge aspects of life today, and it influences everyone. Whether we realize it or not, there are signs all around us of trained professionals from art-related industries (Hennessey). Art and design careers can take forms that many people may not have thought about: people with art and design degrees find work in nearly every industry imaginable, in roles that didn’t even exist ten or fifteen years ago (“Art and Design Careers”). Industries and related careers are constantly expanding, providing art and design students with new opportunities. Possibilities for art and design careers are nearly infinite, and and they’re always growing.
Meanwhile, due to the fact that the space is being designed specifically for the individuals needs therefore, it conveys personality and energy of the person. Evoke harmonized feelings, perspective and state of the client’s needs play major role in the final design. For instance, if a client wants to keep some of their existing sentimental valuables (such as a piece of art work), designers must work around that need. The designer can create do-it-yourself projects where they can satisfy the customer’s needs while being on budget. Harmony and balance are also important, so designers must keep in mind functionality ( feng
Designing in any way is a career that I could say becomes natural to me because it all involves some experience in art and art is the basic beginning of it all.
