Industrial design is not only the appearance design, but also the design and expression of the shape, positional relationship between the features, materials, colors, surface treatment methods and other aspects of industrial products, mainly the expression of aesthetics, which are widely used in industrial supplies, handicrafts, daily necessities and other industries. A truly excellent industrial designer, in addition to having aesthetic creative skills, should also understand and be familiar with the working principle of the designed product, the way of functional realization, the internal structure, the process of product realization, the manufacturing method, the way of mold realization, etc., only in this way, the appearance of the design is "reliable", is the product can be realized, otherwise it can only be a joke, can only be a piece of waste paper.

Designers need design inspiration and ideas, inspiration is the most important spiritual work for industrial design, and only works full of spirituality can move people's hearts. In addition to inspiration, industrial design should also have professional knowledge and ability, and when talking to customers, it is necessary to reflect their own design professionalism and literacy, but also to highlight their own design creativity and ideas.
 

The design was inspired by the following sources:
1. Accumulation of materials - collection of materials websites

Materials are very important for novice designers, which can allow novice designers to learn a lot of knowledge, improve their aesthetics, and pave the way for future design. So this is one of the most basic and effective ways to accumulate design inspiration as a designer, any master's hard disk is filled with all kinds of design materials, and the collection of materials should also pay attention to the method, not to see the materials you want on the Internet and download them on the side, but to think carefully.

 

3. The ancients said that "there is Yan Ruyu in the book", and I think "there is inspiration in the book"

Writing skills are a compulsory course for designers, writing skills can only be learned from all kinds of books, read some books about design, art, literature, poetry, philosophy, ......, etc., while reading these books, not only accumulate their own knowledge but also inspire you, when you read a poem, the artistic conception in thepoem may be your creative inspiration.
 

Fourth, carefully figure out and compare repeatedly

Contrast, design a few more colors, materials, surface treatment, in this design to find out their own advantages, in combination, to make the work better. Find out the successes and the bad ones in between, and in the end there will be a good plan.

Inspiration is something that develops slowly. It's not that all the problems were solved in a flash of inspiration. Inspiration is not so much an idea and a creative idea, but a beauty waiting to be discovered. More often than not, inspiration is just a random existence. As long as you look at and try more, something beautiful may appear. We can also use market research to understand the product we want to design. You might find inspiration from your market research!
