Design in my opinion involves “thinking outside the box” or in other words thinking beyond conventional thought or practice. Since an early stage in life (ex. The cave man) where able to put this design practice in use ( the wheel). The invention of the light bulb also made an impact in the world. For me design is something that has an impact in the world (cars, computer, chair), or that creates an emotional reaction (posters, art).
