tioned. Part of this questioning may be related to aesthetics and aestheti-
zation, where we look at the form as having its own value.

At the time of rapid technological advancement and the decline of
borders, the formation of an important and key competitive advantage is
becoming crucial. As Julier (2006) says, designing not only the creation of
visual images, products within the visual and material world, but the cre-
ation of systems that emerge within the visual and material world. Ma-

the company, the customer and the consumer.

The awareness of the importance of design has always been present.
Over the last 30 years, along with advertising and branding, it is further
developing and coming to the fore. Thus, many design agencies have ex-
