Industrial Design Careers

Description of book

"Industrial design is everywhere – whether it’s the seat you sit on, the plate you eat off, the car you drive, the television you watch, or the bed you lie in. It has steadily earned a role in the industry as a bridge between the marketing aims of a company and the traditionally engineering-based product development team.

Career FAQs Industrial Design lets you look into the world of more than 25 industrial designers. Some are self-employed, built their own business, others collaborate across large design teams, but all tell their stories in this book to help you decide if this creative and satisfying career is for you.

Read interviews with an industrial designer, product development manager, chief designer, principle designer, business owner, freelance structural designer, interactives designer, senior lecturer, human systems designer, interior designer, jewellery designer and furniture designer.

There are many roles an industrial designer can fill. When a brief is given to a designer, or a design consultancy, the product must be researched, analysed financially, sketched by hand and on computer, made into prototypes, be presented to the client and eventually, if given the thumbs up, manufactured. So why not release your creative potential and join this exciting industry!
