I think we spend a lot of time talking about what is and isn't 
agile.  In my opinion, agile is about delivering business value 
continuously by being able to respond to changing needs.

As long as what you're doing supports that, I think its OK.  

So if you want a "big picture", you might want a concept document or 
a specification, etc. that contains that information.

As far as the design, again, agility says that you don't know 
everything, so don't design as if you do...expect your designs to 
incrementally change and improve.  If you want to capture 
intermediate designs in a document, then do it, but only if it helps 
you.

I'd go so far as to say, do anything you want, as long as you have a 
known, measurable return on investment in doing it, and don't stop 
delivering business value.
