My musings :
Having studied design in a highly technical environment like IIT.
(Aka what qualcomm job post calls the hostile, engineering types )
I was always faced with the question :
for a successful product , who is more important the artist or the engineer ?
This debate later changed to : who, or more aptly put, what function is more important/ critical to the success of a product ?
Is it business/strategy , is it design or is it engineering, is it visual or art ?
I tried to explain and I believe that none of these is more or less important. Each of them have to come together in a perfect sublime way.
In fact they are all the same but they look different in the traditional sense of things.
As I think more about them, and merge them with things I learnt from my professional life .
I find myself making some quotes that are my effort to show what I believe in :
I truly believe in all of these . Do let me know what you think

Design is certainly art. Its a higher form of art .design is art with a specific purpose, utility, or intention in mind… ( from a random post )
