Defining Design “Features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation applicable to an article, being features that, in the finished article, can be judged by the eye, but does not include a method or principle of construction.” [Designs Act, 1906] “The imaginative jump from present facts to future possibilities” [Page]. “The optimum solution to the sum of true needs of a particular set of circumstances” [Matchett] “To conceive or plan out in the mind” [Merriam-Webster] “A plan or protocol for carrying out or accomplishing something” [Merriam-Webster] … November 28, 2018 – 04:28:15 © 2006 University of California, Irvine – André van der Hoek

Defining Design The realization of an imagined state To work out a solution in one’s mind The specification that guides production The transition from possible solutions to a specific one To devise a solution to a perceived problem … November 28, 2018 – 04:28:15 © 2006 University of California, Irvine – André van der Hoek

The Term “Design” “Design” may refer to an activity “When I design, I always use a whiteboard first” “Design” may refer to a product “My design is super cool, I know it will work” “Design” may refer to a field “Software design is complex” To design is to design the design November 28, 2018 – 04:28:15 © 2006 University of California, Irvine – André van der Hoek

The Term “Design” “Design” may refer to an activity “When I design, I always use a whiteboard first” We will use: design activity “Design” may refer to a product “My design is super cool, I know it will work” We will use: design product “Design” may refer to a field “Software design is complex” We will use: design field Should we include this? We don’t quite stick to it… November 28, 2018 – 04:28:15 © 2006 University of California, Irvine – André van der Hoek
