“You’re a design major? So, are there lots of job opportunities in that field?”
“Yes.”
Most of society tends to think of design as a narrow category only consisting of architectural achievements. However, design is much broader than just the interiors and exteriors of buildings. Design is typically divided into three categories: architectural, fashion, and graphic. It is sorted into just a few categories, but design actually reaches to infinite realms of our society. So, yes, design IS the interiors and exteriors of buildings. But, design is also so much more. Design encompasses the simple things that we encounter in our everyday lives as well as the famous buildings of ancient Greece.
Design is the alarm clock you wake up to in the morning, the bed you reluctantly roll out of, the fresh clothes you put on, the room you leave behind on your way to the office, the car you drive in, the freeway you drive on, the billboard you wiz by, and even the chair you sit down in.
Design is an interactive part of our society and yet remains invisible to the large majority of it. All of these things were designed by somebody—in fact, everything has been designed by somebody. Design is the result of someone’s plans being converted from thought into a reality. Design is everywhere. Design is everything.
