I like design because....

I teach creative writing girls to some high school girls on the weekends, and I was helping them with their college essays.

So we all took some to write about what we love/like. Here's what I wrote:

I like design because it combines art with emotion for an effective purpose. It makes you feel something through well crafted visuals and can make you have an "ah-ha" moment and usually all subconsciously.
