Defining and Expanding User Experience – Activity 1

I was asked to write down my definition of design on a stick-it note. I came up with “making something work well and hopefully look good at the same time”. Following that, I had to peruse an article by Oliver Reichenstein, then write again, with the same pen and a new stick-it note, what I felt design was. I am marginally enlightened and now know some inspirational quotes, but my second definition is much the same as the first, with an extension: “… without being too subjective.”
