Cars, mobile phones, luggage, lighting, furniture, medical equipment, hair dryers? all of these products have in common the need for good design. Good design can make a product stand out from its competitors, and promote a manufacturer's corporate identity.
A career in Industrial Design
Industrial designers are responsible for the design of a range of consumer and industrial products, from furniture and domestic appliances, to specialised medical and scientific equipment, packaging, safety devices, industrial machinery and transport vehicles.
From very large projects, to very small consumer items, the job of an industrial designer is to create a product which simultaneously achieves functional and aesthetic goals. In designing these new products, they must consider issues of usability, innovation, materials and manufacturing.
Everywhere you look, industrial designers have left their mark. Think of the objects that surround you at home: many of those things serve a function, but also tell a bigger story of the cultural contribution of industrial design to our lives.
