What Is Design?

Design is realization of a concept, idea into a configuration, drawing, model, mould, pattern, plan or specification (on which the actual or commercial production of an items is based) and which helps achieve the item’s designed objective. (Design, 2014)

Design could be viewed as an activity that translates an idea into a blueprint for something useful, whether it's a car, a building, a graphic, a service or a process. The important part is the translation of the idea, though design's ability to spark the idea in the first place shouldn't be overlooked.(What is Design)
