Industrial Design Below are suggestions for discussion topics about industrial design. Tailor them to fit your schedule. Ask students brainstorm a list of manufactured products they used today. Have them think about who made them. For example, inventors and engineers think of the idea and make it work.
Industrial designers are concerned with the look, feel and usability of the objective.
Only after industrial designers make an object safe, attractive and functional is it mass produced by factory workers and machines. Students should understand that the career of industrial design came about as a result of these changes. Mass-produced goods needed to have mass appeal to sell in large quantities. Artists were needed to design products that would appeal to many people. Almost every factory-made object has been designed or planned by an industrial designer.
