Design, culture, and language ...

Design is a plan and a process of thought that usually has a goal or purpose in mind. It can also be human or naturally made.

Culture is made up of common beliefs, behaviors, traditions, and characteristics with in a particular group. It can vary greatly depending on location.

Language is a system that allows people to communicate between each other by using speech and symbols.

Without one there would not be the other because design is influenced greatly by culture and through design people can communicate. Culture is where inspiration for design comes from (like color choices, shapes, sizes, arrangements) and language is used in design to allow people to better understand what is trying to be communicated visually. So language, culture and design all intersect through out the creative process from start to finish.

The vibrant feel and use of color with in the culture of Mexico is seen through out the communities, architecture and various arts. This is a great example of how culture and design intersect.
