What is design skills?

Design skills to me are skills that you need to do any form of designing.

The things that you need for designs to work:

-Recognition

-Story Telling

-Visual Communication

-Representation

You have to make sure that everything is recognizable... if people arent able to make a connection to your piece of work... hows anyone going to be able to understand our piece? and if we dont then our design is not gonna change the world. As designers, we have to manipulate patterns that are going to create meaning in people's mind. And that's truly important. Also what it needs is to tell a structured story and message.

With the story telling... what you need to know is the fact that we need to make it clear. The question we need to ask them is why do you wanna hear about this? Why do you want this product? It needs to tell people why they need to give a shit about what you're doing.

With the visual communication, we need to be able to show the data that we have collected in and show it in a human way of communication. Not only that, we need to give it points of view... multi paints of views. Because it would give it a message of what we are trying to say with what we produce.

And our final step into making that final product amazing is to think of what the outside see. Because we are tryin to figure out what the consumers want. It is soo important, to give what the consumers want and still make a difference. That is so important.

Design thinking:

Personally, its about thinking about the future. You need to think how we can improve the world. Just think outside the box. Its all about innovation.

To do "design thinking" this is what you need:

"define, research, ideate, prototype, choose, implement, and learn" got this from wiki

those are the shit that you need to do.

Creativity is also something we need. its simply THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. PERIOD
