Rymzhanov, D. N. Sound Design as an Independent Science and a Medium Widely Used in Modern Design

Abstract: The article is devoted to the definition of sound design in terms of other trends in design. Based on psychophysiological principles of perception, the author offers a classification of design trends into visual-tactile and visual-audio directions. The author focuses on a little-known branch of design – sound design. Taking into account the global integration of all design trends, the author raises a question about a better focus on the term ‘sound design’. The author gives his own de􀁹inition of the term ‘design’ and within the framework of the present article studies the significance of sound design in our everyday life. The research is based on the principles of deviation of the sound design compared to other forms of design both in everyday life and educational process. The author of the present article touches upon a very important section of the creative and technological direction in design and shows how important it is as an independent science and an important discipline for performers of other forms of design. Development of the sound design is directly relevant to the comfort of our everyday life. Any leading designer should understand what the sound design is and have a clear idea of the role of sound in his work and be able to set a task for a sound designer.
