Design Concepts and Concerns

Design Concepts and Concerns is a necessary course, indispensable to any design stream. It makes us realize that ideas are omnipresent. It helps us shed the misconception of ‘I’ and move on to ‘We’. It helps us respect others ideas and add value to them so that something fruitful could be produced.
Design Concepts and Concerns is a simulation of real world situation where we interact with people of different abilities and genre. We should develop an ability to produce the best in a given situation. The course makes us realize that ‘what we think’ is important but ‘what we can make others think’ is still more important. Presentation of thoughts is an elementary aspect in the process of design.
During the course, we were grouped with people of different background, skill sets and thought processes. It could easily have been perceived in negative terms. But we were rational enough to realize that this added to our advantage as we had a variety of thought and diversity of vision to facilitate the process of design.
