Design is defined as the previous process of mental configuration, "prefiguration", in the search for a solution in any field. It is usually applied in the context of industry, engineering, architecture, communication and other disciplines that require creativity. The design involves various dimensions that go beyond appearance, shape and color, also covering the function of an object and its interaction with the user. During the process, the functionality, operability, efficiency and useful life of the design object must also be taken into account.
