What is Industrial Design?

Industrial design involves designing physical products that have the potential to improve people's daily lives, such as furniture, home appliances, vehicles, or any objects that will turn into mass production. Industrial designers and design studios must understand the needs of consumers and design products that meet manufacturing requirements as well as consider the user experience. Industrial designers are typically design professionals with a high level of design experience.

Identify the Needs and Conduct Research

First, clear communication with clients is needed to understand the manufacturing methods and needs for a product. For more personal product design projects, research, brainstorm, and get ideas from your favorite sources of inspiration, like Pinterest. You can utilize NoteLedge as your digital notebook to take notes, organize reference materials, and start developing your own design concepts with quick sketches.

Utilize Technical Drawings Tools to Sketch out Ideas

NoteLedge comes with a full set of drawing tools for designers to draw, adjust line weight, opacity, or even create their own brushes. Use the Smart Pen or Rulers (available in NoteLedge for Windows) to draw perfectly accurate lines and shapes. Experience the best drawing and sketching experience with an Apple Pencil, Adonit, or Wacom stylus.

Customize Color Palettes

With NoteLedge, it’s easy to identify a specific color scheme for your product design. Generate your own color sets for each component of your product design project.

Communicate Design Concepts with Clients

Once you have the design concept sketch ready, you can export your work to a PDF format with your design sketch, requirements, and reference materials. Be sure to communicate ideas with your clients to get feedback or approval, and make iterative adjustments or finalize your design sketches right away.
