What is influence in design?Show answer
For designers there is a further, decisive influence: the brief. A design responds to a client's requirements, a function, a target audience, a budget and a market, and these shape the outcome as powerfully as any cultural movement. When you analyse a design's context, include the brief and audience: a product designed to be affordable and mass-produced reflects that in its materials and form, just as a luxury product reflects its market in its finish and palette.
