Industrial design is the profession of generating concepts and products that optimize the purpose, significance, and form of products for consumer and producer. Industrial designers often work within the context of cooperative working relationships with other members of a development group. The industrial designer’s unique contribution places emphasis on those aspects of the product or system that relate most directly to human characteristics, requirements, and interests. Industrial designers also maintain a practical concern for technical processes and requirements for manufacture, marketing opportunities and economic constraints, and distribution sales and servicing processes.
