Abstract
A design could be said to be a pattern created by man, with the purpose of meeting some specified requirement; such purpose, perhaps, being aesthetic, as in artistic designs, or severely practical, as in the case of the logic of a digital computer — or a combination of the two, as is the case in architecture. But whatever the requirement a design is essentially the result of a creative act.
