Product design is a profession that optimizes the function, value and appearance of products and systems. At first it sounds like an engineering major, as if you must deal with large-scale machinery. However, product design is actually a multi-disciplinary design discipline, which is not only limited to the machinery in our mind, but also applicable to many fields, from trains and cars to toothpicks and pencils.
The mouse, light bulb, kitchenware and scissors that are used at any time in daily life; Sofas, chairs and appliances used in household and decoration; Blood pressure devices, wheelchairs and instruments in health care; The transportation tools are better understood, such as the cars and trains frequently used in our daily life, and the innovative new transportation tools, which are all created by industrial product designers.
At present, the core of product design in China tends to focus on product shape design and product manufacturing. Therefore, when domestic students study product design, they tend to focus on making more cool renderings and more sophisticated and complex models. However, the teaching of product design abroad is biased towards the understanding of the future development trend of products and the needs of human society.
