Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Design"

A: A "tweak" is a very small alteration.

A: It was made to tell you a little bit about something.

E.g. I made a poster for my boss. It was designed to introduce new ideas for the company.

A: Ah, alright. The first meaning is literal, a design that you can touch or use. You can design a car on the computer, but when you make a model of it it's a solid design. Clothing can be used as a solid design, in contrast to drawing the design.
The second means that some design is well-made, or good enough.
I also forgot about it but SOLID design is a computer term used in object-oriented programming. If you asked about that, it's explained on the Internet, I'm not too good with PCs to explain.

Hope I helped

A: The first sentence 'I design, develop, and maintain the website of a nonprofit organization' suggests that you are currently involved in the upkeep of the website. The organization might pay you to check and change their website in the present moment.
The second sentence 'I designed, developed, and maintained the website of a nonprofit organization' suggest that you are no longer doing this. You may now be working at a different organization, and you are not responsible for the website anymore.

'Of XYZ' just allows you to specify which organization's website you worked on.
'For XYZ' also has this meaning, but it also emphasises that you did it for the benefit of the organisation. Maybe they paid you, or directly asked you to design their website.
Hope that helps :)

A: "Designed" sounds like you created something.

Technically, designing is coming up with the blue prints, while engineering is actually making it.

"Designed and engineered" just means they built it up from the bottom by coming up with the idea and actually making it.

A: Interior design has to do with building structure, architecture, where walls are placed or walls are removed, window choices, as well

A: @therox neither of them sounds natural to me.
Natural ways:
Where do you get inspiration for your designs.
Where did your inspiration for these designs come from.
What inspired your designs?
What inspired you to make these designs?
—
If you say “how do you get inspired for your designs” it sounds more like you are meaning “how do you get motivated.”
“How do you get inspired about your designs” also sounds unnatural. Usually if someone says “get inspired about...” it means get excited about.

A: Recently I’ve been totally addicted to “Interior design manager” on Netflix.

A: You could say it in different ways: "The design of the dress is pretty good. I like the style." or "The design of the dress is pretty good. It's the style I like."

A: × You can see the final design on folders A and B.
✓ You can see the final design in folders A and B.

Using 'in' instead of 'on' would probably be more natural. When talking about something like a folder: 'on' would be describing something on the outside of it (like the cover of a book) but 'in' would be describing what is inside of the folder when it is opened (like the written story inside of the book).

Also, a possible error depending on the meaning. In the sentence, design is singular, but you said it was located in two different folders. If there is more than one design (for example, maybe there are two options they need to choose from) then it should probably be plural. 'You can see the final designs in folders A and B.' If it is still just one single design is split between both folders to fit all of it, then 'design' can stay singular without any problem. It just depends on what was meant.

A: Can you believe it? I found a design of a pretty heart, like the ones in the photo, in a traditional Japanese castle.
