Design, Culture, and Language




Design is a form of communication. It is the instrument from which we express or convey a message. This message could be personal or societal. Design delivers this message to people and cultures that view it or experience it.

Culture is a shared set of values, beliefs, and traditions of a certain group of people. There are many different kinds cultures. Culture is difficult to define due to the fact that culture could be a new movement, an old tradition, or even language that a group of people adhere to within society. That society that they are in could contain within it hundreds of different cultures or movements. Thus, an intertwining of cultures and shared knowledge, patterns, blending and defining society.

Language is the form of communication we utilize to communicate culturally, visually, verbally, theoretically.
