Product Design Introductory Studio

4 Credits

This studio course explores approaches to designing physical goods intended for mass production. Projects begin with words, then pictures, and finally objects. Each project builds upon what was learned while incorporating new design techniques and modes of research. A basic scaffolding to approach product design forms: 1) ideation, 2) moodboard, 3) form finding, 4) drawings, and 5) prototypes. Expansion and contraction of ideas at each phase through exploration and analysis is emphasized. Prerequisites: ART 004 Attribute/Distribution: AL, CC, HU
