What Is Industrial Design?: Understanding Design

Industrial design, which is also known as product design, is the creation of consumer goods, from the smallest spoon to the largest machine. Industrial designers seek to optimize the function, value and appearance of products and systems.
Join Prasad Boradkar, a professor emeritus of industrial design at Arizona State University, as he takes a look at industrial design through the lenses of beauty, utility and sustainability. In this video, you’ll learn how the Industrial Designers Society of America defines industrial design and how to become an industrial designer. You’ll also gain insight on the different products and systems industrial designers create.
You’ll also learn how industrial design looks at people’s needs and creates products and systems to fulfill those needs. Industrial designers strive to create products and systems that bring value to the people involved. Further, industrial designs must provide a mutual benefit for the user, the manufacturer and the environment.
About Understanding Design:
Understanding Design is an educational series of online design courses about the fundamentals of design. The series delves into how great designers think and how the design process works with case studies of many iconic items. We interview professional designers from a range of disciplines about how they incorporate beauty, utility and sustainability into the design work they do.

Great video 👍🏾had to show my parents this so they could understand what I’m going to study

[@shyamsharmashow9870]

Aahh.. brings back my memories. My first project during my study at ID was designing a electronic toothbrush ❤️❤️

Thank you for this fantastic overview of the most important aspects of the design process (beauty, utility, sustainability) and the key dimensions or goals that drive product development: function, value, and appearance of the product. I've subscribed to your channel.

THANK YOU

Industrial design, which is also referred to as product design essentially refers to the creation of consumer goods. A specific example, here you see a very generic kind of a toothbrush. The packaging is very generic. It's just a plastic bag. The toothbrush, as I will take this out, the toothbrush itself is also very generic. It's essentially a transparent toothbrush with very little specifics on how one holds it, what it does. So one might refer to this as an archetypal product. So what happens with design is that designers look at people's needs. Brushes designed for children, brushes designed for adults. So what happens is that depending upon people's needs, depending upon what aesthetics we are looking for, what kind of ergonomics we need, designers come up with a range of variations on the idea. So it's a professional service, which means that you can get a degree in industrial design, you can work as an industrial designer, you can get a job as an industrial designer. What does it create? It creates products and systems. Now the word product we all understand. It's tangible goods like the toothbrush that we just saw, but it also talks about systems. Very often, products do not exist in a vacuum. Products are essentially components of larger systems. So let's extend this definition of industrial design to say that industrial design is a service of creating new products and systems that benefit people, that benefit manufacturers, that benefit corporations, but also benefit the planet on which we live. What can we do from a design perspective, what can we do from the perspective of sustainability to make sure that this chair doesn't increase bad environmental impacts, but actually takes into account what can we do as designers to cut down some of the impacts on the environment. So what we've seen here in this presentation through the simple example of this chair is that industrial design thinks of consumer goods like toothbrushes, like chairs, like cars, et cetera, but again, thinks have three important things: thinks of the beauty of things, thinks of the utility of things, and thinks of sustainability. or Industrial design, also known as product design, essentially refers to the creation of consumer goods A specific example, here you see a very standard toothbrush The packaging is very generic It's just a plastic bag Toothbrush, since I will take this particular off, the toothbrush itself is also very versatile. These are material possessions, such as the toothbrush you just saw, but they are also about systems Very often, products do not exist in a vacuum Products are essentially components of larger systems So let's expand this definition of industrial design to say that industrial design is a service to create new products and systems that benefit people, manufacturers, companies, but also the planet we live on. impact on the environment So what we've seen in this presentation, using the simple example of this chair, is that industrial design is thinking about consumer goods like toothbrushes, chairs, cars, etc., but again, it's reasoning about three main things: determine on the beauty of things, think.
