According to Bruno Munari design plays an essential part in discovering the importance of how a simplistic natural design can take part in the most common areas of our of day to day lives. Munari helps us understand a deepening connection between design and machinery and how one functions as needed and through that process, the other is effortlessly created (designed). To equate design as an organic offspring of a natural occurrence, distinguishing a connection between artistry and people. Whereas, Helen Armstrong depicts design as a role that designers are creators of what the term design and its attributes consist of. It’s an ever-changing process that became influential through time and history. Dating back to the Bauhaus and its emotionless design concepts to reach a universal concept that was designed to evoke a change and how designers today are pushed and pulled into different concepts and creative outlooks on what the norms are. Restricted by industry-standard software yet given creative control and to document their works as ownership.

Designers should concern themselves with unsolvable theoretical questions to broaden their idealistic way of designing in general. What distinguishes the field of design from other creative occupations is the thought process and concepts behind designing. Taking into account how a design is created and what is its purpose? It’s a plan to convey an idea for a reason, a combination of elements to produced something. The role technology plays in shaping design is a BIG one. Design and technology go hand in hand in a lot of areas. Communication, marketing, and research to logo design, coding, and UX. All of these factors are contributed through the works of technology making our design process so much easier to create, shaping the way we view design in the modern world. 

Just as Helen Armstrong wrote “ look beyond formal concerns to the global impact of their work. No longer primarily led by restrictive modern ideals of neutral, objective communication, the design field has expanded to include more direct critical engagement with the surrounding world.”  With this in mind, the most urgent problem designers are facing today is the restrictiveness of how they are able to design and the demand for designs in a strategic business way. It leaves no room for the creativity of the soul just to produce without a concept and without reasoning and in the same way, we as humans feel emotions just to express. Modern Design concepts lack the depths of what could be rather than what is. It is our responsibility as designers to once again determine what design is and how we can allow a design to transcend into newer concepts that challenge today’s way of designing.
