4 things.
I was all dolled up in my black dress and high heels, waiting at the crosswalk, when some guy drove by slowly and got me with a snowball. It was pretty weak. He could have gone all out, but he softly threw a small clump of snow at my leg. It could have been huge. It could have been thrown with great force. It could have been spectacular. People here are way too nice, even when they’re out for a night of pranks.
So, learning about the automotive design process has turned out to be pretty fun. Really, there’s 4 things to it: exterior, interior, color, graphic design. It’s not that easy, though. FUNCTION needs to be factored in, or else it’s doomed, like I learned with my bridge. As my dad hinted to me earlier today, we can’t all be engineers. Some people are good at making things work. Others are good at making things pretty. I am glad that we are incorporating the different aspects of this particular design process into the group work, so that the hypothetical students can make every part of their project the best it can be. I always liked those projects the best.

I am glad you are taking a broad view of design – I think the best designers are those who are familiar and capable to design in a variety of domains.
