design manifesto

i believe that design is a process. while for most people, it's somewhat intuitive and comes naturally, that's only part of the process. you also have to consider the objective, the situation, the utilities at hand, etc. you can't just jump in, do a little, and call it quits every time-you have to experiment, make models, re-make those models, and keep editing until you have an end product. becoming a designer isn't easy either. you've got to learn a lot first but having all of this background knowledge in your head is very helpful when approaching a task or situation.
i also believe that good design is contagious. it should make you want to see more. when i see something that is well designed i automatically look for more by the designer. this also shows that good design is exciting and inspiring. we look to fellow designers for inspiration in our own designs. no one design is 100% original. design is also functional, thoughtful, and purposeful. everything that is made has a purpose and much thought should go into the design of a space, object, etc
