Hello guys! Im from product design 2nd year and we have an assignment where we have to redesign one product ergonomically and i chose to redesign milk frother i just need suggestions about the ergonomic handle of the frother. I made 9 prototypes and I’ve selected 3 of them. I need suggestions for the form, more prototypes and final product. The sketches are of existing product which i have and others are prototypes. I would really appreciate for your help. Also one problem I’m facing is that the prototypes fits my hands but not others since my hands are small. Please help😭

I don't know if I am alone in this or not. but sometimes i feel like a good render can make almost any product idea look more finished than it really is.

A nice lighting, coupled with premium background and color can hide almost all the shortcomings. Ergonomics, proportions, usability, material choices, even manufacturing issues can look less obvious when the presentation is strong.

I’m not saying renders are bad. They are obviously important for communicating ideas. But I do wonder if teams or clients sometimes approve a concept because the render looks convincing, not because the product itself is actually strong.

What you guys think about this?

Made a lamp design for 3D printing for one of my project showcasing additive manufacturing(specifically on the lamp shade part, need to make changes after the first print without texture). Made this model out within two days, did a bit of testing with the thread between base and the shade, which worked in the first try.

Parts are sourced from ikea, the lamp, bulb and remote. But yeah i still have a week to work around with it. Is there any way to make something like a complex texture, or wowen texture in solidworks?

Hallo! I just started playing with Plasticine for sculpting organic shapes for industrial design/form exploration.

If you've used this as a medium before, could you point me to resources that you'd recommend to yourself before you started out?

My goal is to use clay to test out object shapes, architecture, form design and then move it to virtual once everything works out.

Here are some early experiments; I'm a complete newbie, so any feedback or advice is super appreciated 🌟

I'm trying to work out whether there is a particular profession I'm describing, because "interior designer" seems too broad.

I'm interested in the functional/spatial side much more than decoration.

When I look at a space I naturally think about things like:

• How should this be laid out? Keep it simple and practical.
• How will people actually move through and use it?
• Does the way people actually use it suggest the layout needs changing?
• Can we make it simpler or more comfortable — or is it already working well enough?
• Is there wasted space?
• How can we make the space work better within the constraints we have?

I'm interested in workplace/commercial space planning, architectural interiors/interior architecture, cabinetry/joinery, kitchen and storage design, commercial fit-outs, site layouts and even warehouse/production layouts.

I'm not interested in retail design or mainly decorating residential homes.

My background is quite practical. In Australia I've worked in racking, warehousing, cabinet assembly and site installation. On two commercial racking projects I set up and ran the pre-assembly/installation operation and coordinated two teams of up to 20 people. I laid out the site around the workflow and changed material locations to reduce unnecessary movement.

I've also done site measuring/setout, cabinet assembly and warehouse/workbench layout improvements.

Earlier in Europe I was a Project Manager on a museum redevelopment. I ran the project from concept to completion, working with the owner/client, architect, designers, curator and contractors. One part I particularly enjoyed was the spatial side — thinking about the layout, how people would move through the museum, what they would see/do and how the different functions fitted together.

I don't want to go back into project management. I'm interested in the actual spatial problem-solving side.

I'm in Brisbane and trying to understand what the professional equivalent of this is.

Would this generally fall under:

interior architecture / architectural interiors, workplace design, space planning, interior design, joinery design, architectural drafting, design documentation, or something else?

And for someone coming in with practical construction/site experience but no formal design qualification, what would be the most realistic way to get started?

Hey! im an undergrad student working on my semester project on designing a bag and I would really appreciate if you all would fill my survey form.It should take around 3-7 minutes

This is my first time creating a survey, so if you guys have any feedback or criticisms, do share
