Design which simply indicates the human talent of using experiences from the nature is the outcome to fılfill the aesthetical and functional needs. The process of design has existed since the beginning of human life. People design everyday on purpose or not. Even choosing a dress is a decision which belongs to the design process. Based on this, everything we use has a design. Along with the scientific and technological developments, the complexity of the designs has developed as well. Starting to use technological devices in design, design process has been moved to computers and the term “compuer-aided design” came into existence with its useful features. As Groover and Zimmers state in their book
