Description
My research for the summer of 2022 was on product design. As a graphic designer product design has always interested me but I was only aware of the technical aspect of it. Through the research I immersed myself in the process of product design from beginning to end. My goal for the entirety of the research was to design a real product and to explore the importance of functionality and aesthetics. The early stages of the project was all research as I read The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman and An Industrial Design Guide by Carmen Andrisani and Neville Songwe. Next, I rendered a design based on what I learned. Afterwards, I started construction on the product which perhaps taught me more on product design than the preliminary research. Finally, I focused on presentation and graphic design. My entire process is to be presented on a poster that summarizes my research and will inform the viewer on what makes a good product.
