What is the difference between conceptual and concept as an adjective?

Hi,

Checking the Webster shows that concept is both noun and adjective. I'm quite aware of the noun. But I've already faced the adjective which I don't get the exact meaning. Webster says, "created to illustrate a concept <a ~ car>". And I saw this sentence, "The design process included concept work and rigorous education around what would make a great package."

Thx

Hi, It's not an adjective in my mind, and my dictionary shows it only as a noun. Remember that nouns can commonly be used as adjectives, eg car door, program maintenance, kitchen cupboard. Clive

Hi,

I don't agree. And, as I said, my dictionary doesn't agree either.
