What is it?
Design can make the product more attractive to consumers，All good designers ask questions of their client and spend time helping the client to clarify what he or she really wants. the greatest difference between the designer and the single independent craftsperson is that the craftsperson does not have the problem of communicating his or her intentions to others for translation into objects. The designer, however, must make his or her intentions explicit – communication is at the heart of design.
Connect to my practice:
This article made me understand what issues should be considered in the design process. To be a good designer, I must keep communicating with customers, be good at thinking and research.
More importantly, designers must directly hit the key points when facing complex real-world problems, find the optimal solution, and always consider users to be people- oriented. Only in this way can you become a good designer.
