Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - Types of Design

1. Interior Design
This type of design "is a multi–faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment".

I think this type of design is innovative and constantly dynamic, always changing with culture and trends. This means that a design made in the 70's would not be as aesthetically pleasing today as it was back then.

2. Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering is "is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer systems."

I Think this type of design/development field is almost the exact opposite to my first example. Computer Engineering is very technical and though there is not one way to do anything in any kind of design, this has specific knowledge and specifications that have to be met and understood to be able to design a system, unlike interior design, where any person can give their own perspective and bias to create a totally different design.



3. Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and Marketing are "is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to purchase or take some action upon products, ideas, or services. It includes the name of a product or service and how that product or service could benefit the consumer, to persuade a target market to purchase or to consume that particular brand".

I have my own personal bias towards this type of design, this class, using photoshop and other computer programs to generate graphics and images will help with advertising, but that is just form and method, the content and style are all up to the Marketers and Graphic Designers, This picture is from a video game, Burnout, and was only placed in the video game during the election period and only in swing states, anyone in Georgia would see a Coca Cola commercial, but any swing state had this image, and for good reason, it was relevant and was the advertisers target market. The ad is just the first step in the Marketing process. Figuring out who needs to see the image the most and how many times they need to see it before they get the idea and are persuaded, is the main idea of this type of design.
