Since this blog is created for design and technology,




Today, i am going to talk about designs.

Design can be both used as a noun and a verb.



In a verb form, to design means to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to a particular plan. Which means using creavitivy to decorate certain things. Things like table, fabircs, wall and even cellings.



Designs can be seen in almost every part of the world.













this is an example of design.All Saints Chapel in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The structure of the building and the patterns carved are also considered a design.












Design, when applied to fashion, includes considering aesthetics( the look of a piece of clothe) and also in function form. In function form, we mean that what does this piece of clothing, when worn on a person, make the person look like. In other words, to make a short person look taller or a thin person look boarder.





Okay. Now lets look at the topic of almost every teenagers =). In terms of design, we say that this handphone is designed to be slim. It is also called a slim slider. It is designed to have a smooth metallic covering look so as to attract and encourage us, the consumers to buy it. As this smooth metallic covering is somehow new to us, we will be also attracted to get this handphone. Another factor that attracts teenagers to get this phone is because of it wide bandwidth of 2.4 inches.
