- "Industrial design is a process of design applied to physical products that are to be manufactured by mass production."
It involves designing consumer products, including furniture, appliances, and electronics.
Design Thinking: A problem-solving approach that involves empathy, defining the problem, ideation, prototyping and testing.
Product Design: The process of designing and creating a product that meets the needs of a user.
Materials Science: The study of the properties of materials and how they can be used in design.
Sketching and Drawing: The ability to quickly sketch and draw designs and ideas.
3D Modelling: The process of creating a digital representation of a physical object.
Model Making: The process of creating a physical model of a design.
Human Factors: The study of how humans interact with products and environments.
User Research: The process of understanding user needs, wants and behaviors.
Design History: The study of the history of design.
Design Communication: The ability to communicate design ideas through various mediums such as sketching, 3D modelling and rendering.
- "It is the creative act of determining and defining a product's form and features."
- "It takes place in advance of the manufacture or production of the product."
- "Craft-based design is a process or approach in which the form of the product is determined by the product's creator largely concurrent with the act of its production."
- "All manufactured products are the result of a design process."
- "It can be conducted by an individual or a team."
- "Such a team could include people with varied expertise (e.g. designers, engineers, business experts, etc.)."
- "It can be influenced by factors as varied as materials, production processes, business strategy, and prevailing social, commercial, or aesthetic attitudes."
- "Industrial design, as an applied art, most often focuses on a combination of aesthetics and user-focused considerations."
- "It often provides solutions for problems of form, function, physical ergonomics, marketing, brand development, sustainability, and sales."
- "It consists purely of repeated, often automated, replication."
- "It can emphasize intuitive creativity or calculated scientific decision-making, and often emphasizes a mix of both."
