Is it important for designers to stay up to date with the latest fashions?

It's a good idea to keep up-to-date with fashion trends because you don't want to be walking around wearing outdated fashion! If your friends are all wearing something new and you're not, they will likely tease you for it. This is why it is important to follow fashion weeks and always know what the latest trends are.

What are the characteristics of a good design?

Good design is a concept defined by industrial designer Dieter Rams's principles: It makes a product useful and understandable, is innovative, aesthetic, unobtrusive, honest, long-lasting, thorough to the last detail, environmentally friendly, and involves as little design as possible.

What are the 5 stages of the design process?

The short form of the design thinking process can be articulated in five steps or phases: empathize, define, ideate, prototype and test.

Why is it important to keep the design simple?

The simple design has certain advantages over the more complicated ones. They are easier to understand, cheaper to make, and easier to fix in case there is a need to. By keeping it short and simple, you ensure that your audience isn't unnecessarily overwhelmed and distracted from the message that you intend to convey.
