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 shape of the object,
the location of details with respect to one another, colors, texture,
sounds, and aspects concerning the use of the product ergonomics.
Additionally the industrial designer may specify aspects concerning
the production process, choice of materials and the way the product
is presented to the consumer at the point of sale. The use of Industrial
Designers in a product development process may lead to added values
by improved usability, lowered production costs and more appealing
products. It is important that in order to be an Industrial Design
the product has to be produced in an industrial way, for example
an artisan can't be considered an Industrial Designer although he
may challenge the same aspects of a product.
