define design, please
St. Paul, Minn. — To understand this word design, I went to school — specifically, a design class at the University of Minnesota’s College of Design. Who better to explain design than a bunch of students immersed in it? ::
Jeremy Singley: “Design to me is art with purpose.”
Laura Lewis: “Design is making products that are needed in our environment to do daily tasks, but making them look good.”
Christina Adams: “I think design can be absolutely anything, any kind of self-expression, from graffiti on a wall to something you buy at Target.”
Tara Madagan: “Design to me is my life. It’s everything around me; it’s everything I see.”
Sheila Bergeman: “I think design is making people’s lives easier without them realizing it.”
thoughtful creation.” The dictionary.

Core 77- forum discuss: Can you define art and design?
I always thought that art was expression without limitation and design was creative problem solving with lots of limitations. Well thought out design can definitely be seen as art. Anybody out there ever seen the suspension components on an Acura NSX? Wow, design becoming art. To me, If you use it, it’s design. If you never use it except to show it off to your friends, it’s art. A good friend of mine has a fantastic modern/postmodern furniture collection, most of the stuff is never used AS FURNITURE. We look at the pieces and go ooohh and aahhhh, then he asks us not to sit on anything. WTF? Could collectability and resale value be a factor in defining the two?
