Social designs have emerged as a new and powerful approach to designing websites and online social spaces. Social design is an application of design methodology to address complex social problems, putting the social issues at the top of designers' agendas. Historically, social design has largely been aware of the social designer's role and contribution to society, and the fundamental role of this design technique to bring about social change. However, in the last decade and a half, social design has developed as a concept of its own, with increasing input coming from academics, practitioners and experts from all walks of life.

Social design refers to a wide-range approach that designers use to engage with their audiences. By engaging people through various modes of social interaction, designers try to create environments that are capable of facilitating communication, generating trust and support, as well as influencing social perceptions. In some cases, social interaction may involve physical proximity, such as when participants communicate through common objects or spaces; while in other cases it may occur via the internet, forms of communication such as blogs or forums. These days, social interaction is taking place in many different forms on the internet. Thus, designers need to be well versed in various approaches to social interaction in order to be able to design an environment that promotes productive communication and social connectivity.

The term 'social design' was first used in a 1980s article by Frank Barron, who noted that the tendency towards groupthink and conformity was making the process of effective social interaction more difficult. It was then used as a term in the Oxford Dictionary. In the last decade, social interaction has become an important focus of academic research and practice. In fact, social interaction research has now become a key part of higher level education, as well as of many management courses. As a result, the importance of social interaction has grown, even growing within the workplace itself.

In order to understand the value of social interaction, it is useful to look at how social interaction is designed in social settings. In most cases, designers create social spaces that encourage participation, promote active thought and offer opportunities for interaction. The primary aim in designing social spaces is to create spaces in which members of a group can actively engage with one another. This can take many forms, including games, discussion forums, question and answer sessions, group work, games based on common interests or background, and more.

In order for designers to achieve effective social interactions, they need to have a good understanding of how people interact. Social designers need to be familiar with psychology and sociology. Social interaction is influenced by a number of factors, such as culture, language, ethnicity, gender, nationalities, norms and beliefs. Designers also need to understand how these factors shape the way people think and feel.

Therefore, the first step when planning a social space or design is to identify the goals of the project. Next, designers need to decide on what types of social interaction will be encouraged. Finally, designers need to consider whether any special needs will be helped through the design. A special needs child may require a certain type of design.

In most cases, designers will choose a specific topic to discuss in the design phase. This topic can be related to demographics, language, power, relationships, social spaces, or any other topic that has a bearing on the purpose of the social space. Each area in the design should have an objective. For example, a focus of conversation might be around a common experience or interest. Another objective could be how people relate to one another. Finally, the design objective could be how people use the space or the process of social interaction within it.

Social interaction can be difficult to plan and can take a lot of effort. However, designers have a myriad of tools at their disposal to create a social environment that is both enjoyable and successful. Social design projects should be grounded in reality. This means that designers need to research what exactly motivates people to interact in various situations. By doing so, they can use design psychology to design spaces that are comfortable for everyone, encourage communication, and create an environment that is designed specifically for the people who will be using it.
