title: OOAD vs Design Patterns -confused
body: <p>I picked up two HEAD first books, OOAD and Design Patterns. I am very confused when I started reading the Design Patterns.
  Here are my basic doubts:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Is design pattern applicable only to Object oriented Designs? To me it appears that DP can be applied only in OOAD</p></li>
  <li><p>Is Design patterns a part of (a set of tools to use in)  OO design? Specifically what I am trying to ask is, is OOAD the bigger objective and Design patterns help in achieving the objective</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After reading the first 4 or 5 patterns it looks like if some body were a good OO Designer, he would have automatically designed using these patterns.</p>
  
  <p>I am really very confused</p>
