Design is a unique topic. Design is unique to humans. The subject is so broad that it could quite possibly be applied to everything. The desk I am sitting at was designed. The computer keyboard layout I am using to type on was designed. Even the way the trees are trimmed at my parents house back home was a form of design. Humans have a natural ability to make things look and function better.
The hands are the root of all design. They are very powerful tools but would be worthless without a brain controlling them. The mind paired with the hands is why design is in the human nature. All through history design has evolved with us. New technologies are constantly being brought into the light, and industrialization is a present force.
Due to that fact that design is human nature, it is different in different parts of the world. Design follows culture, and thus culture defines human behavior. The significance of an object can be seen as greater in one part of the world than another. This would mean that the design of said object would have a greater market in certain areas with certain cultures.

So far in Design 200 I have enjoyed the discussions about the different aspects of the design world. I like that we have been going into greater detail over each aspect individually to get a better understanding of each. Though I like the graphic design personally more, I did like the class where we looked at different chairs that designers have created. I think that it would be pretty cool to design a chair someday. I had never noticed that chairs could be 'design'. Before this class a chair was a chair in my mind. I did notice if one chair looked cooler or more comfortable, but I never thought about the actual thought that goes into each.
