| The process of design is a completed and sequential phase to achieve the object of the design. Most important phase is through presenting new and creative resolutions of the products in order to call the consumer’s need. In this context, he is a top target in the marketing process. The process of design starts by searching and drawing the sketch and ends by marketing the product. Taking the consideration that the advanced technology and the competition in achieving the consumer’s demand, leads to changing the outlook of the sketch.
