What is the main content of industrial design?

Traditional categories of industrial design include: product design, environmental art design, interior design, graphic design, packaging design, advertising design, graphic design and display design. However, with the advent of the network information age, software design and website design have expanded the content of generalized industrial design. For example, with the launch of Apple's iPHONE, iPAD and other products, the connotation of industrial design has been completely innovated.

Industrial design can be divided into four categories: product design, environmental design, communication design and design management. Including modeling design, mechanical design, circuit design, clothing design, environmental planning, interior design, architectural design, UI design, graphic design, packaging design, advertising design, animation 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 is an interdisciplinary subject with a wide coverage, involving many disciplines of natural science and social science, including materials science, color science, technology science, marketing science, aesthetics, ergonomics, psychology, ecology, philosophy, creativity and so on. Industrial design is a combination of science and technology and culture and art, among which art and technology are the two pillars of industrial design. Technology adds vitality to art, and art endows technology with soul.
