A smart phone, a chair, a lamp, a kitchen appliance, and maybe a vacuum cleaner. What do these items have in common? They are all examples of industrial design that started as ideas drawn on a sketchpad. They look and function as they do because an industrial designer created them that way. You may not recognize the names Jonathan Ive, Earl Dean, or Egmont Arens. You would instantly recognize an iPod, Coke bottle, or KitchenAid mixer, which they designed - items that have been elevated to iconic status in American culture. Industrial designers develop and design manufactured products, such as sporting goods, appliances, toys, cars, and consumer electronics. Nearly everything we see and touch in everyday life has been conceived by an industrial designer. That is an uncountable number of products! So many, in fact, that most industrial designers specialize in one particular product category, such as office chairs, running shoes, or kitchen faucets. The goal for every industrial designer is to seamlessly blend form and function to make a product desirable in every way - looks, usability, and cost and ease of manufacturing. It is a crucial balance that sets industrial design apart from other types of design. The products industrial designers create must be attractive to customers, but it is equally important that they be usable, comfortable, high quality, affordable, and safe. This requires a combination of artistic skills and technical knowledge of materials, ergonomics, costs, and manufacturing processes. Most employers prefer applicants who have a bachelor's degree in industrial design. However, an engineering degree is also acceptable so long as basic art and design courses have been included in the curriculum. Some graduates choose to continue their education and obtain higher degrees that will make them more attractive to employers. Earning a master's degree in business administration (MBA), for example, is the best way to learn about marketing, quality control, accounting, project management, and strategic planning. It also helps a designer qualify for management positions. Job opportunities can be found in every industry. Since new products and innovations are introduced every day, and in almost every category of consumer goods, from baby bottles to refrigerators, good industrial designers are always in demand. The niche in which they find success often depends on related personal interests and related job skills, but choosing a hot specialty can make all the difference when setting out on this career path. Currently, industrial designers working in consumer electronics, transportation, and especially medical equipment, are experiencing the highest demand. Industrial design is a great choice for the creative person who can figure out how things work. Do you use both sides of your brain equally? If so, this profession could be a great fit. The work is challenging, but it's also stimulating and fun, and the pay is good. If you think it would exciting to see your ideas become real products used by millions of people, read on to learn more about careers in industrial design.

Download or read book Industrial Design Rights written by Brian W. Gray and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revised and updated edition of a major work first published in 2001 under the auspices of the Intellectual Property Committee of the International Bar Association. As a comparative cross-jurisdictional analysis of the practice, theory, scope, and types of design protection, it will continue to be of immeasurable value to lawyers and others involved in industrial design. Industrial designs are particularly interesting because the laws in many countries attempt in different ways to find a balance between protection for the artistic creation and the freedom to use the purely functional, and between the proprietary rights of the creator and the public domain rights of the competitor. The third edition is comprised of twenty-five country reports, each written by one or more prominent intellectual property lawyer(s) in the country covered. To facilitate cross-jurisdictional comparison, each report is structured according to the following sequence of topics: new developments in each jurisdiction; conventions and legislation; definition of what constitutes a protectable design; originality /novelty; duration of protection; infringement; defences to infringement; procedures for filing application for registration; and expunging, cancelling, or varying registration. Prominent new developments covered in the third edition include new chapters from South Korea, Russia and Turkey as well as continuing coverage of the impact of the European Community Design Directive, the adoption of the Hague Agreement with corresponding major changes to US and Canadian design law and practice, the newly revised Japanese Design Law, and China’s revised Guidelines for Examination. Each jurisdiction’s currently applicable legislation, regulation, and case law is summarized and analysed.

Download or read book Sketching written by Koos Eissen and published by BIS Publishers. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must have for product design students! Are designers still making drawings by hand? Isn't it more advanced to use a computer in this computer era? Some may think sketching is a disappearing skill, but if you ever enter a design studio, you will find out differently. Studios still make sketches and drawings by hand and in most cases, quite a lot of them. They are an integral part of the decision-making process, used in the early stages of design, in brainstorming sessions, in the phase of research and concept exploration, and in presentation. Drawing has proved to be, next to verbal explanation, a powerful tool for communicating not only with fellow designers, engineers or model makers but also with clients, contractors and public offices. This book can be regarded as a standard book on design sketching, useful for students in product design.
