Design Basics

Is the intentional creation of a plan or specification for the construction of an object or system or for the implementation of an activity or process.

Design can refer to such a plan or specification e.g. a drawing or other document or to the created object, etc., and features of it such as aesthetic, functional, economic or socio-political.

The process of creating a design can be brief or lengthy and complicated, involving considerable research, negotiation, reflection, modelling, interactive adjustment and re-design. In some cases, the direct construction of an object without an explicit prior plan (such as in craftwork and some engineering, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to be a design activity.

Design can have different connotations in different fields of application.
