For me personally, design is something fresh something new, a form of work that makes communication very easy for everyone. Design can be described as a universal language a visual language that can be understood by anyone regardless of what language they speak. The work you see on top is something I created when I was a freshman in college. The task was to create a logo that defines a word, every student worked with different words and my word was “Age”. At first, I thought it would be very easy to come up with a logo that defines age, but when I started, I realized how hard it will be.  When my professor said I must think about being a 5-year-old to a 70-year-old man to create a logo for his word I was very confused and couldn’t think of anything. She also said that the logo must appeal to different generations of individuals, both kids, and older citizens. The first thing I thought of was to create a cartoonish illustrated logo but using the word itself, so it appeals to both generations. I turned the letters a g and e to a cartoonish face of an old person with glasses, cartoon aspect was kept in hopes of reaching out to the younger audience while the old face was to gain attention from older audiences. After a few rejections from the professor, I was finally able to make something that she wanted and something that made both the professor and my classmates very curious. My idea of what design is can be best described through this work, I have created or designed other things throughout the college semesters but I think this is a perfect example to show while answering this question.
