Requirements are for business; Designs are for IT.

Requirements focus on the need; Designs focus on the solution to meet that need.

Requirements are text; Designs are diagrams.

There is no difference in the BABOK guide.

Requirements focus on the need; Designs focus on the solution to meet that need.

A requirement is a representation of a need, while a design is a representation of a solution to that need.
