What kind of a world would you like to live in?

How do you see yourself living in the future? Has the world finally become a better place? Did all the advancements in technology and innovations have any role to play towards it? Why is it that we strive for improvement and perfection? Since centuries we human beings have shown one clear trait and that is constant change for the better. Be it the weapons we use to hunt with, the clothes we wear or even the manner in which we cook our food.
Although we have come a long way from our prehistoric style of survival we need to ask ourselves - Will we ever draw a line? Will our needs ever end? The constant attempts to fulfill our needs lead to many great inventions which have become an integral part of our lives. Many of these great innovations make lives easy for us, many of them actually save our lives, while others are just another drop in our pool of leisure.
New ideas, innovations and creations are constantly changing the world around as we constantly attempt to keep up. Many years from now perhaps the more sensible and simpler question to ask would be, "What has remained the same?". One cannot help but take a moment to wonder what our world would look like in the future. Would it be for the better or the worse? Many products even today undergo such drastic design makeovers to enhance their appeal, quality or functionality that many of them will be unrecognizable or obsolete in the future.
The world i see myself living in is extremely advanced especially in terms of technology. Life will become even more relaxed if that's even possible. But with the advancement of technology it is important certain issues which blotch the world be addressed and resolved. If we are unable to present such productive and progressive solutions then we are only moving forward to slide backward again...

Why do we need design?

I see design as a way of life. Design for me requires a divergent viewpoint for generating ideas, yet grounding them in the constraints faced by us. We often have very set notions about how a particular product can function. A product’s efficiency need not be a function of its price. Rather it depends upon our ability to think out of the box, to challenge set notions. Design thinking encourages us to tinker around the product, with specific goals in mind. Every new feature cannot be a value addition unless it addresses the core function of the product.

What is Design???

Design is a great medium to make money. But the question is- Is it easy??? Well, If one has the capability to observe the surroundings well and develop a product which will become the need of the consumer.

However, it requires a lot of factors which needs to be considered. I think design is a form which is invented and innovated to produce a product which impacts the market thoroughly. A few of the factors are
Asking the right question
Identifying the need of a product in the future
Establishing the market demand with the product

Design thinking plays a vital role. It requires the capability in the human being to modify the prevailing object or develop a new product which adds value to the economy.

Design is not necessary restricted to a from or a structure. It can be used in processes etc.

Well, I think that Design is the most reliable way to make money. It is simple- to develop a unique way to enhance the value of an object.

What is Design????

What is Design???

Design refers to the plan or convention for preparing an object or a system. Every different field has a different interpretation of what a design is. One can say that everything on the earth that have design element in it. Let it be man made or a creation of God. Each and every thing is having a specific design which can be modified but yet there will be a design that will be obtained on being replaced. The best example of a wonderful design is the leaf which has different textures on each one. There are lots that one can learn from the texture of the leaf. There are two different ways that one can produce wonderful designs by following only two thoughts which has been taught to us over the years.

KISS: Keep it Simple Silly

TIM-TOW-TDI: There is more than one way to do it

Most creators and designers follow the above two aspects while they get into innovation and creation of any new idea.

My favourite site...

From the creative to sometimes obscure, this website has it all. It is one of my favourite sites and has some truly unique stuff. Thought it could be useful as a study for all of us.

Why do we need Design?

In my view, Design is just not attached to a product but it is beyond a product. The plant layout can also be called, the system set up can also be design. Design is a form of a structure which makes product or services more interesting and attractive. Design is a imagination to see something at a different point of view. Design provides more usage of products and services. In my view design brings out more productivity.
