The very first thing you might think of when you hear design, might be a magazine, poster, or a rooms decor, but design isn't as simple as that. It could be a way that somebody organizes their actions or even the way that they present themselves. Adam Swaan, a writer for Forbes, suggests that " there’s a new, mass expectation of good design: that products and services will be better thought through, simplified, made more intuitive, elegant and more enjoyable to use." He is suggesting that we are turning to something that is designed in all aspects to provide answers for a question that we have, or to create a place that a consumer can look to that is a trustworthy place.
In order to have a feeling of trust, we look for patterns of organization. Forms of organization are brutally important to design because without organization, there would no longer be any resemblance or anything that unites a reoccurring concept together. Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group believes that this organization and development in design is key in promoting a business. He claims that "A well-designed space immediately says that you care about the details and that you want to contribute something fun and meaningful to your customers' lives -- it will help them to relax and talk about what they're looking for. " He suggests that something as simple as the way that a room is organized can completely change the overall feeling of a company, and the feelings of consumers.
We find design everywhere that we look, when we pick up our cell phones, log on to the internet, enter a classroom, or even make the decision to obey our justice system. Design isn't always based around a consumer, it is based on importance. If something is necessary, such as the laws that are DESIGNED to enforce respect among other people, it will be created in a fashion that promotes the overall goal. It might cause controversy, but the overall design is created for the benefit of the public. In 2012, the United Nations issued a statement saying that "human rights, the rule of law and democracy are interlinked and mutually reinforcing and that they belong to the universal and indivisible core values and principles of the United Nations". They are establishing a new standard of the promotion of democracy and the core values of government, the United Nations designed a new format to represent the people of the world.
Design can be as simple as a magazine though, over the course of the month, the Journalism 2 class that I am a part of have, has been looking at design throughout journalism and we have created our own designs. As an Editor for the Hoofprint, our school newspaper, I have continually learned ways to improve the designs that I have published.

The design above, was created in 50 Minutes in a challenge that we did as a class. I've tried the design previous times, but I think the format works for a story like this.
The Generating Wins design was the first design that I have made that utilized 3D objects and such. There are a lot of things that I would like to change on the design, such as implementing the blue and green colors, and increasing font size for interesting details.
Everything has design because everything that is created has a purpose. Humans appreciate design and have learned to admire and despise the way that certain things are designed. The design of something has the capability to 'make or break' anything that it is involved in. Portraying the desired outlook of a concept has become so important because of the impact that design has on consumers.
