design

A design is a plan or specification for the construction of an object or system or for the implementation of an activity or process, or the result of that plan or specification in the form of a prototype, product or process. The verb to design expresses the process of developing a design. In some cases, the direct construction of an object without an explicit prior plan (such as in craftwork, some engineering, coding, and graphic design) may also be considered to be a design activity. The design usually has to satisfy certain goals and constraints, may take into account aesthetic, functional, economic, or socio-political considerations, and is expected to interact with a certain environment. Major examples of designs include architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns.The person who produces a design is called a designer, which is a term generally used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas—usually specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, product designer, web designer or interior designer), but also others such as architects and engineers. A designer's sequence of activities is called a design process, possibly using design methods. The process of creating a design can be brief (a quick sketch) or lengthy and complicated, involving considerable research, negotiation, reflection, modeling, interactive adjustment and re-design.

    Kerapoxy CQ vs Kerapoxy Design

    I'm looking to use Kerapoxy grout for a walk in shower with large porcelain wall tiles. Is there much difference between Kerapoxy CQ and Kerapoxy design? CQ seems to be available cheaper. I'm not interested in putting glitter in it. Thanks, Chris.

    Tile design software / Tile Design Apps

    After seeing a topic about what apps people use on the job, I just wondered if anyone uses any design software or apps to design rooms? I'm thinking most folk will just do what the customer has in mind, but also thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one to play about with.
