"In order for the designed artefact to be truly valuable to all those who interact with it, designers have to consider issues of aesthetics, usability, ergonomics, safety, marketability, manufacturability, functionality and sustainability. This requires a wide range of skills and knowledge. Design has therefore been described as science and art, as communication and argumentation, and as thinking and inventing." (Boradkar, 2010, p. 273)
