I may not have had the full CCA experience, but I attended their pre-college program and visited their San Francisco campus as well as a Fuseproject (a design firm in downtown SF), and I have to say their San Francisco campus was quite impressive.
Jimmy Huynh ,, I am just starting my design career after graduating in mechanical engineering and your videos are very helpful,, so thank you very much and please suggest something about keeping a notebook as designer.
I started my bachelor of industrial design at Monash university in Melbourne, Australia two years ago ( started with a double degree IT & industrial design , then dropped IT midway last year - so I'm kinda in my 2nd year of ID) & I feel like I have no skills and knowledge (or at least to this extent). I was really losing motivation & considering changing degrees again but this initiated my curiosity to learn and improve and really TRY because it genuinely looks interesting. Maybe I haven't had the right mindset, maybe I wasn't approaching classes the way I should or maybe the teaching style at my uni isn't what works well with me but you have given me the boOST to want to re-approach it so thank you ❤️ will be binging all your videos. Do you have any advice on how to learn this kind of content in a step-by-step way, any particular online resources you recommend? I feel like I need these basics & self-learn before the next semester approaches.
Hi Jimmy! Huge fan, thanks for this helpful video. I'm a senior in HS going to major in ID, I actually just submitted to long beach today! I'm very concerned because I'm not the best sketcher and I'm worried it's something I can't be taught or get good at. Do you have any suggestions for how I could start getting better everyday? I'm already working with solidworks, keyshot and fusion360, the hard part for me is drawing. Any assurance that I will be able to learn or tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, what pencils did you use in your fall 2012 sketches? The shading is really good, that's also something I need to work on but I don't know what pencils to use, or what pens to use, or to use pencil or pen! Thanks!
im in a similar spot right now being a senior in hs and wanting to go into industrial design, like you, i am also not confident in my sketching skills. would you mind giving an update on how things have been working out for you since? and if its been going well could you offer up some advice on how to get better? thanks 🙏
Yo this is awesome! I am a mechanical engineer at S&T but I want to be a product designer. I never knew there was a major specifically for product design called industrial design. This is super helpful information and I seriously appreciate it. I will be exploring all these skills on my own now along with my degree.
For SFSU, our first semester we had to take design history, visual literacy, and intro to design. It's the prequisites for industrial design majors and visual communication design majors(graphic design and UX UI). We don't get to do anything hands on until Spring semester. Question, did you have IDSA in Long Beach state?
Thanks for sharing man! Huge help. Yeah we are very well connected to IDSA and the school pays for a limited amount of spots to attend the conferences :)
That's why I opted for SJSU. I'm starting in the Fall. 4 year program, hard as shit. I've seen the students that go to SFSU and they're complete slackers. Not that solid of a program IMO.
Holy shit I want to do so many things Graphic design, industrial architecture engineering desing animation OMG, comics illustration even writing a book!
@@jonny56254 Well for now since I'm in my 30's I won't go for arquitecture right away because 5 years of carrer would consume too much of my life and I would not have enough time for do the artwork that I want! Sooo I rather do industrial design the next year and while I study that I will work in concept art illustration! Disney, Blizzard and all of this companies pay a lot of money to create those characters and landscapes that makes an awesome movie or video game! Buuuut I also want to do some technical stuff! Those two things would balance out because you don't need 5 years to do industrial design!
I have 3/4 of and i'll be an independent one. I hate last projects and professors, too manipulatives to your interests. UAM Azcapotzalco, Mexico, I'm talking about you.
I'm doing an mechanical engineering degree, 3rd year right now. What do you suggest apart from the sketching to work on for Masters in Product/Industrial Design
good sharing Jimmy, u are really good in your 1st sketch rendering class. *can i ask...are all of your friend in ur batch are in your level of quality work? especially in sketching
Not always, but most of the time I've been at the top of my class. In school, its very common to find a range of skill level. Everyone however has strengths and weaknesses. Some might excel in sketching while others might do better in CAD. I teach to be good at everything. Breath, and Depth.
Hey great video! Right now I'm trying to decide whether it makes sense for me to go to school for product design or just learn it on my own. I've been drawing ever since I was a kid and originally planned on becoming a 3d animator but decided product design was more practical (as I feel I don't really have what it takes for 3d anim.). I have working knowledge of 1,2,3 point perspective and have pretty much mastered object drawings at this point aswel as shading and lighting (all because of the requirements of traditional art). I am also familiar with some CAD and Blender and I plan on getting a 3d printer in a few months to test mechanisms as I am also considerably into robotics, rc cars, etc. Anyways, theres a school in my local area offering a 3 year diploma in product design so I'm wondering if its worth it? The program's entire cost is about $10k usd which seems reasonable..
Hey Zef, seems like you're on the right track man. Totally possible for you to learn the skills on your own but i would only recommend this path to those that i think can actually learn it. If you can pick up some soildworks skills and begin modeling your concepts, you'll be about 70% there. As far as diploma goes, many large companies will require a degree, so you'll be limited to freelance jobs and smaller start up companies that will hire you. If you can prove through a portfoilo (a body of work) that you have skills of 3D modeling your ideas, rendering, and have aesthetic appeal, you'll have the core skills of an industrial designer.
Hey man it was really n awesome informative video Can u pls do a series on photoshop tutorial 2 get started for rendering sketches 4 students #fanfromIndia
Hi! I am looking for internship opportunities for this summer 2022 in Indiana, USA. Can you please list down the names I can look for? I have my degree in Architecture and am now studying MA in studio arts in Sculpture and ceramics. I have experience with using wood, metal, bricks, Ferro cement, earth and bamboo. Please get back to me. I really need to act fast. Thank you!
Mah man, everyone sucked at some point. Nothing good comes easy. Let along trying to be great....Practice, focus, hard work, and make it all relevant to reaching your major goals. Sketching well is cool but not needed. Sketching is to help you figure out and explore new ideas.
Jimmy, I’ve got a question regarding lettering-looks like most of that information on the page at 2:35 is related to the class you were in. What information should I get in the habit of writing down? Also, what’s the significance of the square on the right with the 3?
Lettering the right way is a lot of work to do on a normal basis. What ends up happening is you eventually begin changing the "Proper" way and merging it with your own handwriting. But all you really gotta do is just write in upper case. That section is called a "title block" which includes information about the project. In that case, the 3 stood for the 3rd project.
Jimmy Huynh thanks for the reply man! I'm making a 'series' of digital sketchpads that bring the concept of field notes and sketchbooks in general to the iPad pro and one of the templates I'm making is geared towards ID. Would love to know what besides titling and date you would say is universal for this practice.
This is exactly why I’m choosing not to apply to CSULB. I went to check out the program, 5/6 Years for a bachelors is not ideal. I this was my school of choice but after checking out CSUSJ and SF. Those seem to be far more progressive. Not to mention they have internships available. I’m very grateful for your video Jimmy, they are extremely helpful.
So far CSULB has shorted the program to 4 years which is good. Going to a good school isn't everything, you always need to do your own personal learning on the side. Which is exactly why all you super stars are watching these videos!

I need to start practicing my sketching :O
Angel Eyes rightttt
good motivation
I really don’t recommend skipping school. It’s all about the critiques! I went to CCA and Art Center for ID.
It’s still very competitive.
does art center teach you fundamentals? Or do you have to have some basic knowledge to get in to art center?
I may not have had the full CCA experience, but I attended their pre-college program and visited their San Francisco campus as well as a Fuseproject (a design firm in downtown SF), and I have to say their San Francisco campus was quite impressive.
hello Jimmy, first I want to thank you. Jimmy, please make a video about HOW WE SHOULD KEEP A JOURNAL OR NOTEBOOK as a designer.
Thanks for the suggestion man!
Jimmy Huynh ,, I am just starting my design career after graduating in mechanical engineering and your videos are very helpful,, so thank you very much and please suggest something about keeping a notebook as designer.

Industrial design is not for you. That's why you don't feel excited or motivated
Thanks Jimmy for sharing this! Insightful

What a talented guy! :D Thank u for your passion and in sharing this video !!
really impressive for starters... go on next, wait for it
You are so good!
You are so sweet.
IS it possible to do industrial design like you did and go to automotive/ transportation design or architecture ?
Holy shit I want to do so many things Graphic design, industrial architecture engineering desing animation OMG, comics illustration even writing a book!
Crystallization of the soul same I wanna do illustration or this, art is dope man!
@@jonny56254 Yeah definitely I like drawing cars and buildings as much as I like graffities and comics!

dang.... nice sketches....
Very helpful Jimmy tnq for your amazing videos 😍😍🤗
You got it brotha;)
Are your boat sketches in a PC or pencil sketching? If in PC what tool? thanks for sharing.
I'm doing an mechanical engineering degree, 3rd year right now. What do you suggest apart from the sketching to work on for Masters in Product/Industrial Design
I am mech e too and i think i'm gonna do masters in industrial design
Crazy to see how SJSU take ID way differently then Long beach
What 3D software are you using for modeling and doing the spray gun exploded views?
Any artist must learn to hate their own work, or they'll never get better.

I suck at sketching ? Can't it work without it ?

Have you done M.Des in Industrial Design?
do you have to be great at perspective drawing by hand to get into industrial design if you are capable of doing good 3d modelling ?
yes because usually the first step is to sketch your design and after it model it
what school did you go to?
I really need help with sketching what should I do?
yossi kagan sketch everyday
joao santos what do you think I should start with?
Mah man, everyone sucked at some point. Nothing good comes easy. Let along trying to be great....Practice, focus, hard work, and make it all relevant to reaching your major goals. Sketching well is cool but not needed. Sketching is to help you figure out and explore new ideas.
@@JimmyHuynhdesign are there work books with exercises to help improve ? if then can you recommend any ?
how much time you need to complete that cruiser sketch?

what should we buy windows or mac system for I.D?
Windows will work for more programs. Mac + Boothcamp = killin it
Yeah just ignore the complete waste of money for under-powered machined aluminium nonsense... Good luck rendering on your overpriced cigarette case.
Step one for industrial design is how to work with your hands. ;-)
What if you don't have a talent for drawing
sad fish on the table design, you should give them more space :(
What if school and hug abused
