In order for design to have an effect on its audience, an informed individual with a powerful imagination is essential. A foundation in critical thinking is also necessary, as ideas are generated by creativity but evaluated by criticality. Because while it is an emotional instinct that tells you you like or dislike something, it is an intellectual ability to determine what is strong and what is weak, why something works or does not work. I believe the time spent thinking about what is being created is just as, if not more important, than the act of creating itself.
The combination of the creative and critical thinking that is imperative to designing leads to my statement on design, reflecting both my personal style and personal interpretation of design itself:
Design comes from the creativity of a critical mind.

Over a 15 week period, I will be working towards defining what design is to me. This blog will act as a journal to record my growing, personal understanding of the world of design and why it is relevant in postmodern society.
