What is Design

Every time we talk about design we always mention things related to art. Design is a sketch, or a plan to form structure of an artwork. There are many different kinds of design, for example graph design, industrial design, or fashion design. I think design is to use art skills, and the imagination or creativity that a person has to design a new thing.

Design is art, but not every artwork is design; because when we draw what is in a picture it is not design but instead it is copying work. Therefore we cannot make design and art equal to each other. Design is not equal to art, but when we design we need art skills to design new things. Designers will need full creativity, and imagination to design a new thing. It will be very hard for a person who does not have creativity or imagination to design a new thing.

Design is also like art because it expresses feeling; expresses the thoughts by using different colors and materials. In psychology, every color represents a different mood, and different materials will let people feel differently. For example, the color red represents passion, and the material iron lets people feel loneliness. Using different colors and materials in design will express different feelings.
