2. Response to Reading #1



What is design? As said, design should be the crucial anvil on which the human environment is shaped and created for betterment and delight of all.

I like to think design is challenging, you can always come upon a complicated encounter and have to work your way through it. This reading really opened my eyes to the different aspects of design and I acquired a great deal of knowledge from it.

I learned a lot about design from this article.
