I'm currently working on a design theory that connects all of the design disciplines: visual, structural, musical, etc. Here is what I have so far:
Design Creation Process:
1) State a specific goal.
2) Organize matter.
3) Designate boundaries.
4) Divide space.
5) Divide time.
6) Populate the areas.
7) Introduce the viewer.
Of course woven into these steps are "revise, revise, revise".
1) State a specific goal.
"I am creating a brochure to educate people about design."
2) Organize matter.
"I'm doing more research on this subject, I have found x and have organized it so that it can be constructed according to the need which has been understood."
3) Designate boundaries.
"I am creating a brochure that is this dimension, for this purpose, directed at this audience."
"I am designing a building that can be located in these areas."
"I'm composing a song in this time frame."
4) Divide space.
"This is where something will be, and where something will not, and the degree to which it is or isn't there."
5) Divide time.
"This is on the cover, this will be on page 5, this will be noticed first, second, third."
4+5 are done cooperatively.
6) Populate the spaces.
"Insert photo, write in text, etc."
7) Introduce the viewer.
"Here is my brochure."
This is just a rough draft and will develop more as I go.
