Brief introduction
A designer must offer a solution to a specific problem. The end solution however, follows the design process which is both strategic and creative. Design is not simply a solution to a mathematical equation, because although there is one problem, there may be many answers; as such the designers' role as a creative comes into play. Strategy and creativity go hand–in–hand; a sort of yin and yang. There must be a perfect balance between the two otherwise the design will undoubtedly fail at some point.
