Business and Design

Just as Technology and Design, Business and Design is a pretty broad topic and applies in the same manner. Business can range from the overall idea or model to a transaction between two people, but along the way Design can play a very important rule. Every idea needs to become physical in some manner in order pass it along to another person, this is where Design plays a very important aspect of portraying an idea in a manner that makes sense to another. Interior Space Design allows one to attract another to your idea in the form of strategically thought out use of space, lighting and objects. Industrial Design is a gateway to take an idea into a form and functional model. Lastly Visual Communication Design transfers the idea into a visually pleasing message. Listed below are examples of how each Design field plays a role in Business.

Visual Communication:
No matter who you are in Business, you will most likely at one point, give a presentation if not several. Even if you did not major in Visual Communication Design, it is a very big aspect of all wakes of Business. Making a presentation flow, while being concise and clear is a challenge of every presentation. Visual Communication in Business does not just deal with presentations, but logos, advertisement and of the like, which are very key aspects to promoting an idea, the company or a product.

My advice when it comes to Visual Communication in Business is: Understand your topic fully, use your skills to accent your idea and take criticism to improve your methodology.

Interior Space Design:
In Business, Interior Space deals with any space that one will interact with another in, be that of offices, a store front or a product kiosk. Interior Space Design can affect the mood and atmosphere in a very dramatic way. I consider space, lighting and the physical to be the three main mediums in which one can design a space. Considering all will not only help design a space that one needs to interact in, but a space that invites the proper mentality. Such as a productive environment in an office, a friendly and service providing atmosphere in a store and so forth.

My advice for Interior Design in Business: To remember how lighting, space and the physical all combine together to achieve not only the physical function, but the human function.

Industrial Design:
When it comes to Business is it pretty clear that this deals mainly with products. Being able to model an idea, whether it be a prototype or final product, a 3D medium allows more than just the visual sense to grasp the concept. One can start to feel and further sense the idea past what is seen. Making a good product, goes back again to understanding the need or the problem one is tackling. To me being innovative is solving a problem not only in a new way, but in a way that makes the innovation in need of only refinement and not replacement.

My advice for Industrial Design in Business: Research and understand not only the problem or need, but also the users of the solution.
