Design is the art of arranging objects, the art of decoration and stylistics. This is necessarily a creative process that requires a master of rich imagination and knowledge of certain laws. Design objects include various items (both physical and electronic) and technical products. And the purpose of design is to achieve the necessary compliance of the object with human needs, to create a holistic, visually aesthetic image.
Although there are many types of design, and more and more new ones are created every year, the number of its main industries is very small. In particular, there are three main areas: industrial design, graphic and architectural.
Industrial Design
This industry is also called industrial design, product or industrial design. Among the varieties of this area can be called: transport design, furniture design, household appliances, etc.
This industry began in the 18th century, and is believed to be Josiah Wedgwood, an English painter and master of arts and crafts. The active development of industrial design falls on the second half of the 20th century, that is, at the time when the visual design of products began and the marketing direction began to develop rapidly.
Industrial designers set themselves the goal of decorating the objects around a person and at the same time providing them with the greatest functionality. After all, it depends on how much the product is necessary for a person, how aesthetically it looks and how convenient it is to use it depends on its success in the market and the demand among customers.
Graphic design
This industry is considered the most widespread and versatile. It is with the results of graphic design that people come across every day. Although this trend was officially formed in 1964, when the First Congress of the International Society of Graphic Design Organizations was held, its origins can be seen even in the rock paintings of the most ancient tribes.
The purpose of graphic design is to increase the level of environmental harmony, improve the effectiveness of communication impact. Graphic design is responsible for creating the individual external characteristics of an object, for the emotional impact on people. There are several varieties of this design industry. In particular, it includes: print design, web design, mobile design, font design, posters, etc.
Architectural design
The third branch is architectural design, or interior design. It is directly related to the design and harmonization of the surrounding structures. This branch of design reflected the influence of various styles (modern, constructivism, minimalism, baroque, hi-tech, etc.)
Architectural design contains a great many smaller industries. These include: interior design, industrial design, urban design, landscape design, color design, interactive design, etc.
