This document provides an overview of product design, including definitions, the design process, types of drawings used, and responsibilities of product designers. It discusses that product designers combine creativity and logical problem solving to determine aesthetics and functions of everyday items. The design process involves research, concept design, development, detail design, and production. Types of drawings include sketches, orthographic projections, perspectives, CAD drawings, and technical illustrations. Responsibilities involve taking design briefs, developing ideas, creating drawings, prototyping, testing, and presenting designs.

2. PRODUCT DESIGN, what is it?
The method and development of creating a
product/item/object from idea to manufacturing.
Product Design vs Industrial Design
• solve problems
through creating
something that does
not exist.
What is a Product?
A useful idea, method, information, object or service created as a result of a process
It fulfils a need or satisfies a want.
It has a combination of tangible and intangible attributes (benefits, features, functions, uses)
• a specialization that
deals exclusively
with ‘products’ or
something that can
be produced
• general study that
deals with products,
services, installations
• focus on improving
existing products or
services

3. THE PRODUCT DESIGNER
Combine Creativity with Logical Approach (Pragmatic & Imaginative)
Determine the aesthetics and functions of everyday items
(furniture, etc.)
• Create new products
• Improve existing products with broad understanding of technology, materials and
manufacturing methods

15. Scope of Work + Nature of Work
This involves looking carefully at what is required, doing research and
developing ideas into a design.
Your key tasks would include:
• taking details of what the client needs (known as the 'brief ')
• developing ideas and making initial sketches
• deciding on suitable materials
• using computer design software to produce detailed final drawings
• making samples or working models
• testing the design
• finding solutions for any problems with the design.
At all stages, you would work with skilled colleagues such as engineers and
model-makers.
As well as designing, you would also
take part in meetings and presentations
put together bids and proposals for new work

Professional Bodies

16. Scope of Work + Nature of Work
Scope
Industrial design is a combination of art and engineering; drawing
skills, creativity and technical knowledge are critical.
Industrial designers must have a good sense of color, balance and
proportion, as well as good verbal, visual and written communication
skills.
They need to have an education in industrial design, architecture or
engineering. These days, many industrial designers that get a
master’s degree in business administration because the industry is
increasingly emphasizing strategic design and products that suit the
client's overall business plan.
Industrial designers with knowledge of accounting, marketing,
quality assurance, strategic planning and project management may
be more attractive to employers.
Designing items for mass production, small
batches or one-offs

17. Responsibilities
• arranging meetings and liaising with engineers and other
departments
• occasionally travelling to clients' production facilities and evaluating
the feasibility of production;
• making presentations to senior design management or clients
• start with a client meeting
• working on ideas as part of a team
• The designers may create and sketch several
different design ideas and present these options to
the client.
• taking into account cost and availability of materials
and safety implications
• working closely with other professionals
• identifying the suitability and availability of
materials;
• Do research

18. Responsibilities
If you are self-employed, you would also market your work and carry out tasks
involved in running a business, such as budgeting and administration.
• producing detailed, final hand drawings and specifications
• using dedicated computer software (CAD) to produce design
specifications, including parts lists and costings
• making samples or working models by hand or
using computerised prototyping equipment;
• testing the design concept by computerised
modelling or physical hands-on testing of models
• taking part in specialist or multidisciplinary team
meetings
• Manufacturing of Products
