Design IS a Conversation

Design is supposed to convay a message in a way that is quick and easy to understand...sometimes. Sometimes, there is no intended message, in the case of our Stone Soup Day, and at other times the message is one that simply makes the interpreter think. In any case, design is a method of communication, a language, between the designer and the public. It is a way of taking the viewer through a journey of understanding everything from what is beauty, to where to turn, to apritiation. We use design to communicate everyday just by deciding what to wear. Whether you know it or not, every morning when you get up, you make a decision on what message you want to send out by the pieces of clothing you choose to wear together. Even graphic tees with messages on them tell others, whether it is true or not, that you believe what your shirt says is ture. Even if your clothing does not have writing on them, you are still giving out a message with the style you choose to wear. You can also change your message just by adding different accecories to your atire. This gives a person a little flexability and can give individuality or a seprate identity from others with similar or even identical accecories. Without having to tell someone directly, design communicates a message directly, indirectly, or even delivers a message that is up for interpritation. Any way you look at it, design is a language that is visualy pleasing to viewers while sending a message, however important it is.
