Classically, the main areas of design were only painting,
sculpture and architecture, which were understood as the major arts. The design
of clothing, furniture and other common artifacts were left mostly to tradition
or artisans specializing in hand making them.
With the increasing complexity of today’s society, and due
to the needs of mass production where more time is usually associated with more
cost, the production methods became more complex and with them the way designs
and their production is created. The classical areas are not subdivided in
smaller and more specialized domains of design (landscape design, urban design,
exterior design, interior design, industrial design, furniture design, cloth
design, and many more) according to the product designed or perhaps its means
of production.
The education, experience and genetic blocks that form the
base of a competent designer is normally similar no matter the area of
specialization, only in a later stages of training and work will designer
diverge to a specialized field. The methods of teaching or the program and
theories followed vary according to schools and field of study. Today, a design
team, no matter the scale of the equipment, is usually composed by a master
designer (the head of the team) that will have the responsibility to take
decisions about the way the creative process should evolve, and a number of
technical designers (the hands of the team) specialized in diverse areas
according to the product proposed.
For more complex products, the team will also be composed of
professionals from other areas like engineers, advertising specialists, and
others as required. The relationships established between team members will
vary according proposed product, the processes of production, the equipment
available, or the theories followed during the idea development, but normally
they are not too restrictive, giving an opportunity to everyone in the team to
take a part in the creation process or at least to express an idea.
