Hey,

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this to, but here goes.

I'm trying to find out everyone's views on design for my own knowledge. :P This includes designers and non-designers. I intend to study the feedback I get from people, draw conclusions from it and publish it on my website. :)

So, in a few lines, please write down what design means to you! :) Feel free to write whatever you think!

Thanks,

Abhay
 
something that can lead the senses to the point/ item of interest, follows both form and function.

- interpret at will :D PM if confused
 
Patterns in order and symmetry...
Recognising or creating one requires various levels of brain processing power depending on design itself... :)
 
I think you ask it from a graphic designer or artist's perspective.

In this case I believe it to be a: A shape that is comprehensible to a human mind. it also means that one man's design could be another man's piece of sh*t

Please note that "Comprehensible" is the key word here.
 
* Pleasing interface to complicated machinery.

* Something that adds a little color into our monotonous life.
 
@morgoth: I think what you're talking about is art and not design :)

Anyway good replies, I hope there's more to come still! :D

Hi Abhay, was happily going thru fluidcore.net, untill I saw sony walkman logo, and then your fluidcore logo, and again sony walkman logo, and I turned sad.
 
@mihirX: Yeah there is some similarity there, but I feel the fluidCORE symbol goes well with the name and serves it's purpose, don't you? ;)
 
@linuxtechie : lol you can post your views on Software design as well, I believe even that has the same base as graphic, industrial, fashion etc. design :)
