Anybody can make a toaster toast. Very few people can make a toaster something you covet. -J. MAYS
Speed is key in industrial design, and the ability to draft multiple versions of an object quickly is imperative in the business world today. In a business where a visual portfolio is key in finding a career, the generation of ideas can be a deal-breaker, especially if applicants are all about the same skill level. Being able to generate several reiterations of a product not only gives a client more to work with, but it also keeps your mind stimulated.
Being honest and being open to critique help tremendously. Nothing is more of an irritant in a creative environment than someone rebuffing every critique sent his way. Being open to others not only allows for you to become a better designer, but also allows you to make more interpersonal relationships. Allowing others to critique your work will also create a positive reputation for you and the company.
Practice, practice, practice! Drawing constantly will improve your aesthetic sense and your speed more than anything else. Even if they are doodles on a notebook, or drabbles on a napkin, the more you draw, the better you get. There is no pill to swallow when it comes to being a skilled worker.
Having fun while you’re designing is, I think, the most important thing to consider, if you want a job in design. If you don’t like designing cars or chairs, your distaste for doing so will show up in your sketches, renderings, and even your presentation. If you do not like to do something, it will be very hard to muster up the time and energy to devote to it.
Anyone can design products, however, whether or not they succeed in the designing world, all depends on the individual industrial designer’s strengths, ambition, and mastery of aesthetics.
Hi, my name is Brittany. I'd like to give you some revision suggestions for English class. The quote before the intro really captured my attention, I wanted to read more. In the first paragraph, I would suggest for an English class to say "more with which to work" instead of "more to work with". The points were laid out well and clear. The conclusion could be expanded by stating your principles as a designer. I enjoyed reading it. I hope my review is useful somehow!
