## Overview

Awesome Design is a static, community-curated directory of design resources, not an application with a processing backend. The principal workflow is to read the README, browse its topic sections, and follow links to external resources. The README documents the categories and links; no source excerpts are available to establish additional runtime behavior.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/gztchan/awesome-design/blob/master/README.md) (Curated catalog)
