My understanding of Industrial Design:
Industrial design is a field that focuses on creating, designing, and optimizing products. From my previous knowledge, aspects such as design, engineering, production, art, among others are combined and used interchangeably. I believe the main goal of it is to create products that are more efficient, ergonomic, safe, practical in order to create a better user experience.
Research:
Some of the fields involved are :
Furniture: As evidenced in the reading which the main goal is to create aesthethic, comfortable, and practical products.
Electronics: Industrial designers try to create products that are more functional. This includes laptops, phones, fridges, etc.
Transportation: Another field is transportation, which focuses more on creating more efficient cars, planes, bicycles, etc.
Sustainability: Designers focus on finding ways to make products that are more ecofriendly, and sustainable, often working with recyclable materials and a greener process.
Overall, I believe that every single product, or thing that we use on the daily has been made thanks to a industrial designer.
