Design Process

Designers are personalities with highly creative minds and broad vision. A designer can do any design at an extreme level. Every successful designer knows when to stop while designing. Understanding of the design process is a vital step, but which stage has to extend to a certain level, it should also be known to the designer. If any sketch is to be drawn, then we can draw endless points or lines, and also give various types of shades to it. The same applies to design.

When I asked the question in a college workshop where famous Interior Designer Prachi Jain came, I got a very interesting answer from them, i.e., they told that when the mind feels that our design is going to look or feel like clutter, then stop. I think that is the best answer to the question. The presence of liveness or feeling is important in the design. Because we are creating space for living people with their emotions. Space must have a certain vibe. Some places should be cosy, some should be cherished. Designers have to be very specific while designing spaces and give them life.

Designing a space is sometimes becomes complex, because we want to avoid repetition and try something new in every project. Why some designers only do residential projects rather than other? The reason I thought for this is that every personalities requirement is different for their spaces and also varieties of materials and scope in doing experiments.

As a designer thinks that a minimal and clean look gives us good clarity of space. Minimalism not only applies to small spaces, but how cleanly you use design elements in a certain space is important.

Another designer whom I discussed in a lecture at the National Film Archive in Pune. The name of the Architect and interior designer is Ar. Abin Choudhari; his projects are showing the connection to the village or indian tradition. I asked him a question: How do architects or interior designers know their own design philosophy? This question got very perfect answer from him and it was that when we do a lot of projects then get a reflection from it that, for example, yes, I particularly like curves in my design, I also like theme based design or fusion of different design styles. Then we get to know what our own design philosophy is. Also, do all kinds of projects initially to get an overall idea about design and our interests.

Do explore yourself and reflect your ideas from your project.
