Industrial design





Industrial Design is an applied art whereby the aesthetics and usability of
products may be improved.

Design aspects specified by the industrial designer may include the overall
form of the object, the location of details with respect to one another,
colors, textures, sounds, and ergonomics.

Often, through the application of industrial design, a product's appeal to
the consumer is greatly improved.

Product Design is similar to industrial design, though often broader in
scope. In addition to considering aesthetics, usability, and ergonomics, it
can also encompass the engineering of objects, usefulness as well as
usability, market placement, and other concerns.

Product Design and Industrial Design can overlap into the fields of user
interface design and information design.
