Conceptual Design
Conceptual design is the initial phase in the design process where ideas and concepts take shape. It involves brainstorming and sketching out potential solutions, focusing on the overall vision and high-level functionalities without delving into the specifics. This stage is crucial as it sets the foundation for the subsequent detailed design phases. It encourages creativity and innovation, allowing designers to explore various approaches and iterate on ideas. By emphasizing the broader picture, conceptual design ensures that the final product aligns with the intended goals and user needs. It often involves collaboration among stakeholders to ensure a shared understanding and direction for the project.
