Design, yes that too.. but what of 3D?

The design process is the method through which end products are defined through the means of their creative development, simply put this means how a final idea comes together from the first few sparks of imagination. Coming across an original idea is probably best done through a brainstorm where the objectives of the specific design are portrayed and approached by the individual or team assigned to the project. Once an idea is chosen to be put through the design process it is approached from a number of critical pointers to determine whether or not it is suitable as it is for a final product and if not how it can be modified to fulfil project parameters. Following this the idea is then put through a number of tests to reflect the changes made by any critical and aesthetic changes important to the final product. If at any point along the design process an idea is not feasible to work with then it can be scrapped and the design process resumed from the brain storming from before or right from the beginning to re-assess whether or not the approach being used for the project is the correct.

A concept for the design process that I have thought through and tried to make understandable is the 'Dimensional Approach' an idea the came to me while considering how to complete the process of designing around a project that required 3D development. It starts with the brainstorming session in which a 'One-Dimensional' idea is considered for development, one-dimensional being just a single point with no assessable detail. From here it can be expanded to a 'Two-Dimensional' idea through which the single point is expanded and approached from the front and has a basic overview of something but no real detail on any of the functionality or inner workings of the idea. Once the '2D' model has been assessed of its merit and prospect towards the projects final design it can then be engineered into a 'Three-Dimensional' end idea in which every angle of the idea can be approached and the inner workings can be perceived and modified if necessary to make this final concept of an idea completely accessible to any critique or requested modifications for it's final implication.
