Any design that can be found in society today will contain an intimate history behind its development. Design is not so much about a product as it is the process. Without the process there is no end product. This progression involves thinking of compositions as well as searching for inspiration. Once an idea and plan has been formulated, a designer will begin constructing his or her design. This is how the end product is constructed. Once the designer feels his or her work is complete, the design will then be vulnerable to criticism.
Criticism is one of the most important, as well as dreaded, parts of the design process. When a third party examines a design, a whole new line of communication is opened. Although some criticism will contain a more negative tone, ultimately the evaluation will allow a designer to understand how their design works and why it is or isn’t successful. This criticism will allow the designer to adopt any lessons to his or her practice. Criticism will also allow a designer to justify his or her design product.
Once the critique has taken place, designers can then accept these suggestions or reject them. If a designer accepts the ideas, then the doors have been opened for creative growth. Through this growth, a new product can be made or the old one can be changed. This is yet another form of inspiration for a designer—one which is based off of the ideas and suggestions of another. With this inspiration, a new process will begin, and a new product will be created, thus continuing the cycle of design.
