DESIGN MIND

 

What you decide in the beginning to be and what you do at the end is the same, is not a design mind.

What you imagine in the beginning and what you let it manifest to be in the end, is a design mind.

To Critic is easy !

Design as a profession is Persuasive, not authoritarian

It’s all pervasive all during the day while you walk up or switch to work, and if you imagine or claim to be a Designer, Appreciate the well done or resolve, participatorily if it needs correction. (Participative Design is an act/skill of being detached yet an empathetic approach if you have the mind for it and navigate it to its end elegance of what triggered you to engage in). Correction is about whether holistically the design is working in terms of functionality, meaningful usefulness at large, is elegantly done and is inclusive.
