What is industrial design? Is it different from product design?

Generally speaking, industrial design was put forward by the designer Joseph Szinell in 19 19, and industrial design is also referred to as ID for short. Refers to industrial product design based on engineering, aesthetics and economics.

Industrial design can be divided into four categories: product design, environmental design, communication design and design management. Including modeling design, mechanical design, clothing design, environmental planning, interior design, UI design, graphic design, packaging design, advertising design, display design, website design, etc. Industrial design, also called industrial product design, involves psychology, sociology, aesthetics, ergonomics, mechanical structure, photography, chromatics and so on. Industrial design brought by industrial development and division of labor is obviously different from other arts, production activities, craft production and so on. It is the cross product of various disciplines, technologies and aesthetic concepts.

. Industrial design urges human beings to reunite science and technology with culture and art in production practice. Therefore, industrial design includes many disciplines of science, technology and art, so that industrial design can not only meet the technical factors of products, but also deal with artistic content to meet the highest goal of human needs.

Industrial design is more extensive than product design, including product design and the whole design process of industrial design products, and product design is only a part.

As far as learning subjects are concerned, industrial design is an engineering course in most schools, and product design is an art class.
