These articles were very interesting and made me consider reevaluating how I define myself as a designer. The child’s answer to the question "What is Design" is pretty funny, considering if you believe 100% that art allows you to be all weird and funky but that design is about doing what people want. I feel like design is the process of taking an idea and creating real form and function from that idea. Designers have personal stakes when creating art into every piece whether it is personal work or for a client. I liked the idea “Design is everywhere...looking for a definition may not help you grasp what it is.” Why, well this sort of proves my idea that design is in everything yet we cannot explain it. We have become so engrossed in the "design" of ads, TVs, computers, yet no one can scientifically explain how something in a clock is in an ad or some other combination of things.
It is the process of making an idea a tangible and functioning concept are what create what people understand as design. To understand design,you have to jump right in the process itself. Tacit versus explicit learning is evident. A person “knows” what design is through tactile learning, having an hands on learning by doing approach. I design by seeing what I want and then jumping right into a program and going to work. Tutorials or hands on teaching is how I learn best. I like to watch someone do something creative and then on my own go back and try what I saw.
