Students who have learned about industrial design should know that this major with a long history and high employment rate is not easy to win. However, our student Kaiwen, with the help of the natural light teacher, has won the favor of many famous universities, including Loughborough University, through his works collection project with high appearance. Now, let's take a look at Kaiwen's industrial design interview portfolio.

If strength is the capital of Kaiwen's classmate, then on the basis of strength, she is still down-to-earth and steady, which is the reason why she wins the favor of colleges and universities In the experience of students applying for colleges and universities, we may not see strange and tortuous stories or dark horses coming from behind, but the seemingly ordinary step by step has led her to success. From her beautiful collection of works, fine research process, and her attitude to perfection of each project, I believe that every student can find something worth learning.

　　 Cultivate logical thinking of works in basic courses

Kaiwen graduated from Donghua University in Shanghai, majoring in industrial design, and applied for natural light in Britain and Canada Industrial Design Study Abroad graduate student. Although he is a graduate student applying for this major, Kaiwen still took ten professional basic courses. Here is a question that many students will struggle with. Is it necessary to take basic courses?

But in fact, no matter whether there has been relevant professional foundation before, there is a certain difference between the creation of the collection and the simple completion of homework and the production of creativity we think.

Although Kaiwen himself had a good professional foundation in industrial design when he was an undergraduate. However, due to the differences in teaching methods and creation processes at home and abroad, Kaiwen has relatively little advantage in the research, analysis and logic of design thinking for the creation of works of foreign universities. This is why we arrange professional basic courses for her.

What surprised everyone most was that these abilities, which were originally the weak points of Kaiwen's students, turned out to be the biggest advantage highlight and competitiveness of Kaiwen's works.

　　 Strong logic early research helps complete the collection of works

What we mentioned above is a relatively lack of logical early research and late design thinking in the process of students' transfer from home to abroad. After entering the creation process of works collection, it is the biggest strength of Kaiwen's works collection.

The work collection of Kaiwen includes four projects in total. It is no exaggeration to say that each project can be taken out separately and can be viewed as a professional academic research report.

The rigorous early research structure and detailed and reliable data analysis fully support the later design product output of Kaiwen.

We all know that when we just start a collection of works, it is easy to fall into the error of "ideal is very full, reality is very skinny". To make our "great idea" really feasible, we rely on sufficient preliminary research and background investigation.

　　 Interdisciplinary high-quality portfolio project

Like most students in natural light, Kaiwen also participated in the creation of interdisciplinary projects and put it into the work collection.

In consideration of the characteristics of industrial design, the instructor of natural light guided Kaiwen to create and complete the design of auxiliary devices for a flower shop through interdisciplinary courses combined with interactive design.

In the design of this device, Kaiwen gave consideration to both the sense of technology in industrial design and the experience of using interactive design, and finally produced a product with great aesthetic and practical value.

Starting from the use characteristics of consumers, Kaiwen diffused the knowledge learned in interdisciplinary courses to the transformation of materials and experiments, and finally produced the model of physical products.

　　 Hand drawn, modeling, typesetting, and high appearance collections are refined in this way

Although it seems that in Marisu's idol dramas, the elites always have poor looks, this does not seem to hold true for Kaiwen's work collection.

Although we were impressed by her talent when we looked closely at her works, as an art student of the Appearance Association, we would be amazed by the beauty of her works at first sight.

Clean and refreshing typesetting and color matching, as well as the right combination of live shooting, charts, hand drawing and modeling, make Kaiwen's collection of works catch your eye at the first time.

One of the most noteworthy is Kaiwen's excellent hand drawing and 3D modeling and rendering abilities. Kaiwen has a solid foundation. With the advice of the natural light instructor, he has adopted the corresponding performance techniques to meet the needs of different projects at different stages.

On the one hand, it showed Kaiwen's proficiency in basic skills of art and design to colleges and universities, on the other hand, it also made the products produced by the portfolio project more three-dimensional.

If the content is the hard power of the collection, then the visual style and layout are the "impression points" of the winning collection.

Each work of natural light students has been checked by the tutor, internal professional review, teaching and research center and other steps. Ensure that the students' works are presented to the picky admissions officers in the best visual state.

　　 Full score for practical ability of solid model

Not only that, Kaiwen also made a solid model of the product in the last project with the help of his tutor.

Because the concept of this project is relatively abstract, students Kaiwen especially carried out interdisciplinary material research, transformation and real operation technology for the products of this project in the presentation of the project.

At last, the works focus on presenting a comprehensive, three-dimensional and persuasive product from the flat plane creativity in the early stage to the three-dimensional modeling in the middle stage, and then to the real object and real scene examples in the late stage.

As we said at the beginning of the article, the case of Kaiwen may not be the most bizarre and eye-catching, but it is a textbook like standard success example for every student who has just started to prepare for college applications and is still making work collections. He succeeded Loughborough University And many other universities.

As we have always stressed, in view of the gap between the professional requirements of domestic and foreign universities, teaching methods and creative processes, we have witnessed countless counter attacks of "zero foundation" Xiaobai in the process of applying for art study abroad, and also lamented the Waterloo of "full score academic bully".

For colleges and picky admissions officers, there is no "golden key" to try everything, only the craftsman's feelings of continuous research, improvement and innovation. Today's student Kaiwen in the case is favored by Dream School because of his down-to-earth and unafraid childlike heart for art design.
