What is the greatest controversy in the world of design? It is very likely that it is the definition of design itself. What is Design? Is it a noun or is it a verb? The true answer is… that there isn’t an answer. It is a ubiquitous controversial topic for a reason. I believe it is left up to one’s personal opinion.
Design, as a verb, could be the act of actually creating the design, imagining it or building it. As a noun, it is seen as the physical product. If you think the word design should be used as a noun, you’re correct. If you think it should be used as a verb, you are also correct; but if you were to use both a noun and a verb to describe design is perfectly acceptable as well.
Since this controversy has no right or wrong answer everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Even though I have just stated that design can be perceived in many different ways, personally, I believe that design shouldn’t be split up. Separating the word takes away from the full meaning of the word. Design is about looking at and thinking about the big picture. When you put the two sides together you create the whole, the final product.
