Realization of a concept or idea into a configuration, drawing, model, mould, pattern, plan or specification (on which the actual or commercial production of an item is based) and which helps achieve the item's designated objective(s).


This sketch is of a Versace coutoure gown. I chose this because I felt that a 'fashion design' encompassed all of the elements of the definition of design according to the above definition.

Architectural Design

The Chateau Chambord is a French castle that features Renaissance architecture and designs. This type of design blends traditional medieval forms with classical Italian structures. I admire the elegance and simplicity this type of architecture displays. The symmetry in the domes and arches evokes a bold yet subtle statement.

Types of Design

1. Graphic Design

-Graphic design is a method used in various ad campaigns, logos, and even in websites. This picture represents an ad used by the Salvation Army to raise awareness about the homelessness in Brazil. I chose this pictur, because I thought that it was innovative in the way that it displayed the design pattern for a t-shirt over an articl about homelessness. I thought it was a unique way to convey the message, and support a great cause.
