Product Design is about defining a problem and then thinking about all the possible solutions to that problem. It is about how a product looks, feels, what materials are used, functionality, performance etc. Product design encompasses a variety of areas of expertise. This can be from graphics designers, industrial designers, user researchers, design engineers, interface designers, electronics engineers – anyone who is involved or needs tobe involved with some part of a project.
Essentially, product design is about the specification for a part or group of parts that make up the design of a product. This may include things like:
How the product is required to perform
The environment the product will contend with
Its lifecycle
The products size
Materials
Finishes
How does it feel?
The overall look
