Sketching... To refine ideas before time-consuming CAD development

Industrial Design is also a hands-on process... Regardless of how crude it looks, a physical mock-up is often the quickest way to learn if a sketched concept will work.
Physically interacting with a product provides immediate feedback on comfort and ease of use, and helps to identify problem areas that could go unnoticed in the 2-D world.
Industrial designers strive to put themselves in the shoes of a product’s user to assure the best possible end product... And the best way to do that is by actually using the product themselves!
Brainstorm... How will it be used?
Test... Will it work?
Refine... How does it feel?

SO... IS IT WORTH IT?

Industrial Designers use research to identify opportunitiesResearch takes time, but ultimately it can save (or make!) you money by ensuring you’re on the right path to creating a usable, desirable, and marketable product that speaks to your end user’s actual wants and needs.
A research phase can:
Study consumer habits to identify opportunities for entirely new product categories or features and improvements to existing products.
Identify gaps in existing markets relative to consumer needs and behaviors.
Define a target market and user group to assure the end product will fit their needs, appeal to their tastes, and resonate with the emotions of the end consumer.
Analyze underlying issues to determine if there is a better means for solving a root problem that is not immediately evident.
Gauge interest in a concept to confirm a market exists prior to production investment.
Test how a product will actually be used to confirm it is intuitive, functional, and comfortable.

Industrial Designers question basic assumptions to find better solutions
If it’s stored and used upside down!
For that matter, why is the top... the top?If it can be filled faster, in a smaller container, and
without clearance issues under any sink!
Why does a pitcher have to be filled from the top?

Industrial Designers think through problems before they become headaches

Industrial Designers make sure you get exactly the right look

Consumers around the world are increasingly expecting refined and stylish products. The better a product looks, works, and feels, the easier it will be to market and the more it will stand out from the crowd. A well designed product will also speak to it’s target market, appealing directly to the needs and tastes of your end consumer.
Take note- All of the products on the far right were quite successful, but none of them were the first to market!
STREAMLINE THE PROCESS
IMPROVE PRODUCT QUALITY
APPEAL TO MORE CUSTOMERS
It is all too easy to get tunnel vision in the product development process; rushing ahead and missing design opportunities or stumbling into roadblocks that can lead to expensive backtracking down the road.
Industrial design is the best way to avoid this, by clearly defining the root problem from the onset, exploring a broad range of solutions before committing to more costly mechanical development, and clearly visualizing a final concept so all parties can agree on a direction before pursuing production.
An adequate concept phase will assure you’re putting your best foot forward before investing in production. Manufacturing a poor design can cost as much, or more than, a good design, so it’s well worth the time up front to make sure you get it right the first time.
Industrial design will also leave your end product with a refined look and feel that is more intuitive and enjoyable to use. You don’t want your customers to say your product “gets the job done,” you want them to say they “love it!”
Feel Better
Work Better
Look Better
Good design makes the difference!
