Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience.
-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996
