Design

Design is an essential part of creation, the ability to shape and mold an idea is not only an art but also a science. The imagination plays a very important role in shaping a design; your mind must be clear and focused. Your thoughts must be undistracted from other illusions that may hinder the design process.

It is essential to do some type of research before taking on a design project, whether; architectural, 3d, graphics, fashion, photography, video, programming, physics, electronics, chemical or anything industrial. It is essential to do your research, find out the pros and cons of implementing a particular design, look at other designs (professional) and do a comparison, match whether you can create a similar or even better concept.

Know how to create your design, by doing this you need to understand how to use your tools. Whatever applications that is accessible in creating a particular design, you need to have a thorough understanding of it. This can be in the form of books, tutorials, communities etc. "Practice makes Permanent" as my IT instructor always says. Nothing beats practice, and once you have perfected using the tools, it is easier to implement your design.

Last but not least, understand your subject, do a background study on its history, and its current function within its ecosystem. Understand its impact on its surrounding environment; always compare the environment so that your design does not become a hazard to the environment in which you will be placing your end product.
