I like to think of it as the in between of an artist and engineer

I think people in general don't undestand how much work lays behind designing and as a consequence they don't value it properly.

THANK YOU, Sam. I feel fortunate to have just entered the industry when industrial designers like you are increasingly more vocal about their value and role. You endured some of the struggle for us. 🙌

I literally just discovered this career path today through my career advisor and through what she told me about it, I might’ve found the career I want that I never knew existed. Not only has it given me a WHOLE new appreciation for my belongings and surroundings, but it’s also just given me more inspiration to potentially lead a career as an ID. I’ve actually been doing it without even knowing. I always liked to redesign cars in my pastime, albeit most of them are sketches and doodles lol. I like to go into the details such as the headlights, door panels, seats, dashboard, etc. I’ve spend hours upon hours trying to think of new designs, what the buyers already like and what would make it even more desirable. Maybe adding in retro features while refreshing the look to attract buyers old and new. It made me realize that I’ve been doing it since childhood. Drawing washing machines, traffic lights, etc. Their designs just fascinated me and maybe this is the career I’ve been looking for. Almost feels a little too good to be true but there is not one career so far that has felt as familiar and fun as Industrial Design. I know it’s never gonna always be sunshine and rainbows but if it means putting my passion to work, I’m willing to give it a shot.

I always have trouble describing what I’m studying to people outside the industry. I think design in peoples mind goes one of two ways, graphic or fashion. When really industrial is the most broad, its everywhere

Designers are shaping the world we live in. its Not only the visual/physical awareness to objects in a city or wherever, they also create the psychology we have, our routine comfort. I hope you understand what i want to say with that.

Great summary Sam! I see Industrial Design as a bridge between a technology (high tech/low tech) and people, and so empathy is a huge component of being able to design well. Love the comment about "defining a zeitgeist" 👌

Great video! Industrial Design is my major in college and your videos have really given me ideas to improve my portfolio.

As someone who's trying getting into good colleges to learn Industrial design, finding this video is a Godsend. Lots of things I wish I learned way before, but hey, never too late!

Great video Sam! You really managed to put the right words on the need for design ! I loved the green sock hahha I think design is also a very powerful tool for change!

Great video Sam! Keep on going! I’m a 20yrs exp ID and still find your video so true! Love your examples of the movies and Yoda vs Kermit😂

I had no idea about ID, randomly i stumbled upon the topic. Now that I have a very basic idea on industrial design it will give me an added perspective on how i look into anything and everything

Great content Sam. I've been saying lately that people don't understand the value of good design, until they've experienced bad design. The challenge is to educate clients so all the money they would have wasted on bad design is instead invested in good designers.

Awesome insights! Thanks Sam.

Awesome video!! Glad there's a video I can point to if anyone has that very question :))

fantastic presentation. though I must say the green sock puppet now reminds me of the borzoi meme so honestly if it was cream with a black toe section, it could sell well

Cool video, from an Industrial Designer perspective is right on point

Another great video Sam

Very well said, Sam.

Super video Sam!!!

thanks for your nice video. i like to study industrial design but for entering a college i need an artistic portfolio. but i how no artistic experience. what is your suggestion?

Miss seeing your face but I love this new editing style to help visualise the processes you’re talking about!

Could you maybe make a "a day in the life of" video I'm doing my internship next year and have no clue what it's going to look like.

Hi, I am aspiring designer. I’ll be joining college soon and though I prefer industrial design however with time tech has been taking off so I am inclined towards Ux/ui too. I would love som pe insight on the future scope by anyone. Also yes very efficiently explained Sam

Awesome!

Damn, nice video

Industrial design, is a field within the greater discipline of Design. It's industrial because it's the design of products made by industry. Products made in a factory in mass numbers. It sits between disciplines like architecture and fine art. It's frustrating to me how many confuse industrial design with things like industrial engineering, and industry related activities. It might be easier had it simple been called product design. There's even an ad here on you tube for "industrial design services" that is not about products but about factories and other industrial functions. LoL. So much ignorance...

thanks for this nice video. do you have an idea about how the job market is in cananda?

Industrial Designers create objects that can be used in the real world through a creative process and collaboration with a team to see if it can find a place to exist in the world

Currently doing this major but Me worried about not getting a job with

it's difficult but interesting

Is product designing is only about digital product like app or web design .product designer can't design physical products ? Physical product only designed by industrial designers I have to chose my profession so guide me please ?

Before I think this is something I would love to do , I already do it everyday for fun After I now understand that a product needs a meticulously fine process to be successful after production 😅ty

big fan of dyson but thanks for calling them out

industrial design is to design physical object which provide required unique solution for the physical problem

In industrial design can we do automotive design like cars ?

- You know what architects do to buildings -kinda -that what we do to products

I'm currently in my 3rd year of ID, preparing to go into honours next year and I still have no idea what we do ahaha

Bro am a AUTOMOTIVE Design engineer can I able to switch from this to Industrial design ??

This video answers, imo, what we, industrial designers, can do better than AI.

Maybe we solve problem as a Industrial Designer and bring the Imagination to reality.

Is it worth to study industrial design worth study nowadays, since most of the design is done in China?

i want to simulate my reality so i think this is the degree for me

I think their job in my country is being unemployed so i would like to be but even we have universitys for industrial designers (and i preparing for the uni exam) no one cares about they (looks like) so.

hi there, how to understand the character of a product and create a mood board of that product. do you anybody making good tutorials on that?

Wow.

They're typically overworked and underpaid.

Safety legislation is ridiculous, manufacturers know what is safe, never the government. God bless America.🇺🇸⛪️

Lol.....This hoity toity talk. We produce what marketing tells us to produce, and it's often as cheap as possible and ends up in a landfill after 3-4 years.

Dyson product design are lead by mechanical engineers, and not industrial design engineers and it shows.

And people I mean the so called smart STEMines think science is everything lmao. There's high contribution of arts, commerce everything we use! There's not only science/engineering. The things you are showing in this video almost 80% people gives all the credits to engineers... they just ignore the fact that there's a whole design process (arts), marketing innovation, costing (business/commerce).

Someone who designs for commercial purpose?

they are actualy failing their classes , thats what (im they)

Industrial designers? They design stuff and then the accountant makes it fail by strangling the budget on making it..! Don't make it to good.. Everything pretty much mass produced follows this principal, I know because i'm a former Industrial designer, Now i design and make my own things and they are not built to be rubbish.. thanks for the video sam :)

Designers exploit their interns,easy. Someone has to do the work, aight?

Industrial Designer to Product Development to manufacturer - This is not what I designed. WTF have you done?

Industrial vs Design, Industrial Designer vs Designer? 🫢

thanks for your nice video. i like to study industrial design but for entering a college i need an artistic portfolio. but i how no artistic experience. what is your suggestion?
