OUTLINE:
Preamble: We live in a world of objects. Objects can have meanings, carry associations or be symbols of more abstract ideas. These objects are predominantly functional in nature, some are purely symbolic / decorative in nature and there are a few which combine both the functional with the symbolic and decorative. Great Architecture has demonstrated this fusion of the functional with the symbolic through the ages. Product design, on a smaller scale, seeks to blend the technical with the aesthetic, the utilitarian with the emotional delight; the dialogue between what people need / want vs what people will buy / discard.
- Product design as a noun: the set of properties of an artifact, consisting of the discrete properties of the form (i.e., the aesthetics of the tangible good and/or service) and the function (i.e., its capabilities) together with the holistic properties of the integrated form and function.
- Product design as a verb: the process of creating a new product to be sold by a business to its customers. A very broad concept, it is essentially the efficient and effective generation and development of ideas through a process that leads to new products.
- Product design process: from idea generation to commercialization; concept, development, detail; materiality, technicality, imageability.
- Relationship between Design, Technology and Product.
- History of product design as a discipline, the various theories of design via study of design practices.
- Mode and method of Design Process as applicable to product ideation and development.
- Materials and manufacturing process and its influence on product ideation and development.
- influence of ergonomics on product ideation and development.
- Impact of culture i.e. the aesthetics on product ideation and development, the dialogue between peoples aspirations and peoples needs.
- Relationship and difference between craft based and mass manufactured products.
- Market as a tool for product promotion.
- Indian aesthetic sense and its influence on product ideation and development.
- Influence of product design on other disciplines like automobile styling, furniture, jewellery, toys, systems design, computer interfaces, etc.
