Is Design A Noun Or A Verb?

                                                      A picture from Google images

                How many views can you have on design? It’s endless. Is Design a noun or a verb? My answer is both. Design can be a noun and a verb. Why? Depending on your view or situation, design can be seen as a thing, or an action.
                When design is seen as a noun, it is something you view. A sketch, a sculpture, a work of art, a project, a building; it is design.  When you see design as a thing, it is the work result. After it has been processed, created, invented; it is design. It is something that has been created a certain way, with a purpose. It can be as simple as how pictures are put together, the way a house is built, or how your computer looks.
                When design is a verb, it is the action of designing. When you design, you are bringing something to a new beginning. It is introducing something into existence; growth, innovation, and advancement. You are bringing an idea into real work.
                For example, when design is a verb; sketching a dress, then making the dress. In the end, you have a designed dress. Designing, and having a design.

                So, design is not only a noun, or only a verb; it’s both. It is creating something, and it is a creation. Design as a noun and verb go together, you cannot have one without the other. You start with designing, and end with a design.
