Reading One

As designers, we should try to fix things. We should try to make life better. A designer is someone who sees the problem and thinks of a solution; design something, make it better, design it again. In the reading, it mentioned a theater that was segregated. The students decided to sit by each other. People wrote letters to the manager, not in anger, but with happiness that he was fixing a problem. This was design. Design is such a huge field. It is hard to define what design is, but it is what humans try to do. That is the basic explanation of the word. "Design is to design a design to produce a design." Everything is design. The computer used to type this was designed. The font that is being used at this moment was designed. Maybe design can be bad, but I see it as the person who designed it liked it and, well, is not that the only audience that matters? Everyone is unique. We see things in different perspective. What I like may be horrible to someone else. The whole idea is a bit like eating food. I do not like sushi, but there are people who love it. It is hard to explain design, and maybe it should not be defined. Art people usually do not like to be defined by some textbook definition, so the word itself should be open like the people who do it.
