Reading Reflection 02

Chapter 1 basically defines what Design is even though it states that the word or concept of design has no defined boundaries which makes it hard to define. None the less, the author provides a simple, but very specific illustration of what design is and carefully explains it throughout the chapter.

Chapter 2 talks about the evolution of design and goes deeper into the various ancient tools and objects that were used and their simplicity in design. Though they were simple in design, they were extremely effective and provided that age with a better life and better means to go throughout their days.

Chapter 3 discussed the terms "Unity", "Significance", and "Function" and tied them all together to help better explain the concept of design. It also discussed how design could mean "creating change in values across national or ethnic backgrounds." Design is more than just designing something that is functional, it is universal and has to be able to travel across the world in various cultures.
