design, and the decorative arts are considered applied arts. In a creative or
abstract context, the fields of architecture and photography are also
considered applied arts.

14. What is Design?
 The creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or
measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings,
business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns).
 Design has different connotations in different fields. In some cases, the direct
construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and
graphic design) is also considered to use design thinking.
 Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic, and
sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may
involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-
design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing,
graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes, and
even methods or processes of designing.
 Design is an act of creativity and innovation.
