The origin of creativity is rooted in positive changes in the brain. Creative minds possess a tremendous power to influence the world around them. The ability to transform one's way of thinking is what defines creativity. It is a manifestation of the brain's flexibility. With the right approach and training, anyone can develop the ability to think creatively.

The design industry is a rapidly evolving and highly competitive field, encompassing a wide range of specialties such as fashion design, graphic design, and product design. In order to succeed in this industry, designers must possess a unique combination of artistic talent, technical skills, and business acumen.

An important aspect of the design industry is technical proficiency. Designers must be proficient in a variety of software tools and techniques, ranging from hand-sketching to digital prototyping. They must also be familiar with the latest trends and developments in their field, and be able to adapt quickly to changing technologies and design styles.

Communication and collaboration skills are also critical in the design industry. Designers must be able to communicate effectively with clients, team members, and stakeholders, and be able to work collaboratively to achieve project goals. They must also be able to listen and incorporate feedback into their designs, while still maintaining their own creative vision.

In the contemporary world sustainability and social responsibility are becoming increasingly important aspects in the design industry. Clients and consumers are placing greater emphasis on ethical and sustainable business practices, and designers must be able to incorporate these values into their designs. This includes using environmentally friendly materials, reducing waste, and promoting social justice and equality in their work.

The design industry is a complex and challenging field that requires a unique combination of creativity, technical proficiency, communication skills, and social responsibility. The Bachelor of Design program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to succeed in this industry and make a positive impact on the world through their work.
