After this clip I can copy and remake some of those products

What do you need to major to become an industrial designer?

thanks for the vid. perhaps for the 'ugly' remote, (as a designer (industrial) and mech engineer of over 40 years) I suspect the product was designed by an engineer without design input. I also believe that particular cultural values and acceptances (affordances) are designed subconsciously into the product based on the designers own values. this is what leads me to believe an engineer designed the housing (aesthetics). designers are generally taught to ignore their own influences, engineers are not. the visual and aesthetic complexities of the remote are culturally based as are many designs that stem from China. just a couple of thoughts.

Love it!!!

ahhh I’m unsure if you will see this but as I explore career choices I’ve grown very interested in industrial/product design! I do have a question though, is engineering involved? Or at least knowledge of it? I feel like the school I am considering doesn’t really have a focus on too many of the technical aspects that I see on portfolios.

An original Eames w/ ottoman is the reward I'm going to give myself when my business hits the next big milestone. I will sit by myself, chain smoke cigarettes, drink gin and bask in satisfaction.

im a student rn in this field

What do i need to know as a newbie . Also do i need to go to school to study industrial design 'cause I'm currently studying mechanical engineering

While watching the video distracted many times because of a beautiful voice and gorgeous looking Morna 😍

Amazing video! Im so glad i found this

Is it possibly to go from graphic design into majoring in Industrial design? I’m starting school and very interested in learning both

This video is a fantastic place to start if you're thinking about majoring in Industrial Design! Great work Morna! I'd add the piece of advice I wish I'd had before entering this field is that you'll have much less flexibility on where you can live as an industrial designer than if you were in something like nursing, sales, or accounting. If you're in a field that's in literally every town, you can pretty much throw a dart at a map and work on finding a job in that town. Or you can decide you'd like to move closer to family no matter where your family is located. In ID, especially if you are specialized in a certain industry, you'll probably only have a handful of potential employers, and many of those will likely be concentrated in California, Washington, or New York City. If you don't love the idea of living in major cities in California or in New York City, you'll need to be very flexible about where you live. The result is you'll move nearly every time you'd like a new job. I've had three salaried ID positions since graduating and those have all been in different REGIONS of the country, not just different states. It can start out exciting, but for me has become a major downside to this career especially after getting married. All things to consider when choosing a career that aren't often talked about.

❤👍

Which is the site name?

Great content, Morna! Yes, I have used analogical thinking in my design work. I borrowed from the elbow, actually, and gave it to the broom. I bet you'd like.

share Twitter handle please

This is a question that I’ve just started to think about. So crazy how this video showed up

❤

So there's 5... not 6?

Thank you very much for the video!! I've been thinking on the very same issue for some time now, and your amazing approach to it helped me to declutter my mind around this. You definitely made my day :)

Thank you so much for this video. Actually, I’m planning on taking up an ID course in college. But I’m not sure what college to go to. I’m still researching it. Would you be able to give me any suggestions that are affordable and also nice. Thank again for the video! 😊

great video.

Thank you for such a great explanation!🌷

This made me poop. No but I learned dorometer and about manufacturing design plans.

great video thanks !

The video highlights a great point. While designers are known for wanting to innovate, there's valuable learning in studying the work of those who came before us.

Thank you so much! I really like how you included the sections about Patents, IP, and 'Copying' not just for the sake of skill-building, but Iterating with Intention and Transforming what's already out there into something new and worthwhile. Bc ain't nothing new under the sun 🌞, but by combining and being mindful about how we connect our References / Inspo we can really evolve our goods + services. Your vids and pacing and edits are really well done, perfect depth and video length plus I like the typeface that you used at 5:12. (What's the typeface? thx) Keep it up! Love the channel and the insights into different design domains 🚀

You really attacked the question of copying very well. By copying you learn the essence of what makes a work great and you might even learn how to make it greater and figure out weaknesses.

I need you to copy the "99% Invisible" episode about furniture (I think it's called 77 steps). I think it's about the equity of copying...make good design affordable.

Thank you for making this! I really enjoyed the pacing, appropriate level of detail, and how you delivered the content. Just subscribed and looking forward to learning more about what it's like in the industry 🚀 Quick question: What advice would you give a recent grad who wants to pivot into Industrial Design from a jack-of-all trades design program? Context: I graduated in June 2023 from Stanford with a B.S. Engineering with specialization in Product Design & I've been applying for almost a year now but no luck. At Stanford, the Product Design major was a program within the Mechanical Engineering department, so we did the MechE core sequence, with upper division "Design Thinking" courses from the d.school. The program was mostly Digital, business, UI/UX and Design Research-focused bc of the Pandemic and integration with Silicon Valley, less hands-on/sketching or traditional ID content. The cool thing about the program is we get to experience a variety of design disciplines, but Industrial Design, Architecture, and Transportation design are what I'm most keen on but least experienced in. I hope you have a nice week :)

The staggering amount of research required to learn about and use biomimicry is intimidating - Pulling it off involves science, maths, and a shit tonne of reading, all the things I hate 😂

Hi Morna, I love your content. Toronto represent! I noticed the download link is broken I just graduated and would love to see it, even if the list is some years old it would still be really beneficial. Cheers!

Great explanation!

👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Super helpful. Tks

Great video!

Just found your channel today and I must say I really enjoy your videos. Already subscribed and thank you for the effort you put in creating them.

excellent explanation Morna. as an industrial designer, the times i’ve designed alone [without referencing other products] i’ve received comments that the concepts seem uninspired. and that’s because they were. take inspiration, especially with a wide net. you’ve only stolen a design or an idea if the end result is the same. appropriation, for the most part, is key to human progression.

Nice informative video, Thank You.

Hi morna, i'm from 2024 and i really loving for you content, thanks for inspiring me.

Did you used the help of AI to chose the footage? When you said "siloed" shows literal "grain silos". Not a critic, I work on R&D for AI.

I'm an quite new UX UI designer working for emerging industries making gen-z app design , i like to take inspiration from quite random things and spend time pondering through design before picking up pen and start the final design, its already be in my head from the accumulation from other designs and sometimes some stuff quite very similar, my junior colleagues complaints that i plagiarise or something whjch is not true but i feel after watching this that its really homage to good design not really ripping off any existing design as it is

Im an ignorant person. ..being that i fell inlove with someone nd im tryana get to know em ..turns out they in this industry..so this is a video i needed atleast get to know wat they do coz i had no idea theres such thing as an industrial design. 😂😂

Great video, as a mechanical engineer I´ve always wanted to step into the world of industrial design and your video just clarified many questions!

Very high quality video, underrated

Worthless video if you cannot supply a means of finding a manufacturer. This is all common sense and a waste of breath. Where is the beef? Give me the names of prototype manufacturers!!!

Your video was really helpful and relevant! Thank you :)

But if we are trying to design the perfect product, but it's already out there why waste time by trying to make changes?.... There is also a popular saying, "if it ain't broke, don't change it" right?

Hii can I know the material details and product discription I would like to buy
