What is design? All men and women are designers. All that we do, almost all the time, is design, for design is basic to all human activity. The planning and patterning of any act toward a desired, foreseeable end constitutes the design process. Any attempt to separate design, to make it a thing-by-itself, works counter to the fact that design is the primary underlying matrix of life. Design is composing an epic poem, executing a mural, painting a master-piece, writing a concerto. But design is also cleaning and reorganizing a desk drawer, pulling an impacted tooth, baking an apple pie, choosing sides for a football game, and educating a child...

| Slide 3 |
Why?
In simple terms, we design to make things.
All kind of things, products, buildings, clothes, motor vehicles, logo’s etc.
We design to make new things…..
….and also to improve on old things.

Then for each idea, think how you could develop it, try to have a few different ways which you would like to develop your ideas and write these down.
