Chewie's Course Reflection On Classes 01-04

Design in general is an interesting topic, but when you start to break it down further you discover a lot more than art in the topic. For example, math plays a big part in design if you're architect. Science would play a big role if you were trying to create a new product to help society. In the 17 minute video TED: Ideas Worth Spreading, Tim Brown - the CEO of the innovation and design firm I.D.E.O., says the design profession is preoccupied with creating cool, flashy objects. When questions like clean water access show it has a bigger role to play,  he calls for a shift to local design thinking. Designers do a lot in this world but to put it simply . . . they create stuff, from something as simple as a spoon, to something as exquisite as the Dubai arch bridge; from a couple splatters on a canvas, to Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night. Whether you're an architect, painter, a graphic artist of some type, interior decorator or even a photographer, design covers a broader area of today concept of art vs. engineering.
