What is industrial design?

Industrial design refers to industrial product design based on engineering, aesthetics and economics.

Industrial design can be divided into four categories: product design, environmental design, communication design and design management. Including modeling design, mechanical design, clothing design, environmental planning, interior design, UI design, graphic design, packaging design, advertising design, display design, website design, etc.

Industrial design, also called industrial product design, involves psychology, sociology, aesthetics, ergonomics, mechanical structure, photography, chromatics and so on. Industrial design brought by industrial development and division of labor is obviously different from other arts, production activities, craft production and so on. It is the cross product of various disciplines, technologies and aesthetic concepts.

Generalized industrial design:

It refers to a series of behaviors expressed by clear means from conception to practical implementation plan in order to achieve a specific purpose. It includes all the design processes of production and service by modern means.

Narrow industrial design:

Simplicity refers to product design, that is, the demand for tools and equipment in response to the relationship between man and nature. Including the design of materials and equipment such as tools, instruments and products needed for maintaining and developing survival and life. The core of product design is that the product has good affinity and matching degree to the user's body and mind.

The definition of narrow industrial design is consistent with that of traditional industrial design. Because industrial design is always based on product design, product design is often called industrial design.
