great vid gray, you always make them very fun and engaging with beautiful end products. I'm a industrial designer that is about to enter their second year of college and was wondering if you had any tips on how you expose yourself to design and designers. I feel like my knowledge of design would be greatly expanded if I studied other designers, where do you start and how do you stay on top of designer and trends?
That’s a great and also difficult question. For the newest stuff, Instagram and Behance seem to be where designers are posting their newest work, but maybe TikTok gets bigger in the future. But one thing that really helped me when I started was looking at a single designer’s entire body of work for a few days and getting a feel for their style. There’s so many great designers out there so it’s really fun to discover them. Some of my favorites I talked about in my 7 questions video.
Highly agreed, there is just so much character in his videos and watching them, always just brightens my mood. Just sad that there is so few of them, even tho the wait is worth it :D (btw some companies and consultancies publish trend reports every year. Some are internal, but you might get access through your university or contacts)
Hey! I'm a product design student from India, love your videos and formats, could you please reveal what youu use to create the digital renders after sketchinng your ideas on notes.
@@somegraythings trends that have lived on, have either barely changed or have just been updated to reflect today. Braun of course comes to mind, lots of furniture brands, Apple, glasses (Oliver people), razors
Do you think ID has gotten to simple in it shapes? We have reduced everything so far to basic shapes that most of it only looks good alone in an empty room by itself. Can we add more flare and details back into products to make them come alive ?
Interesting thought! I think the design trend is slowly shifting back towards more complex designs. Maybe if you wait a few years we’ll be there, but who knows 🤷
Awesome layout of identified trends. I definitely like the video format. It was a bit tough to focus with how many times you had said “really.” Keep it up though!
I have a load of resources that I use to look stuff up. Over the years I’ve kind of figured out where the good stuff is. Maybe a good topic for a future video, what do you think?
Hey @some gray things! Great video as always! I question for you- what software do you use to CAD and then render your objects? I'm always interested in what different kinds of software different designers use!
I used some 3D modeling software to make the geometry and then I put it into a rendering program to add materials and lighting. The exact programs are in the description :)
Design for Repairability is not a detail. It is a fundamental way of designing and engineering a product. It has impact on shape size and many more aspects. If you do it roperly it is not a detail, only if you try to fake it.
Good point, although I would argue that you still have a lot of flexibility in form where you can still make it repairable, but it’s true not all shapes will help repairability. Thanks!
Hey! I have to put that in the description. I used Miro to do the collages, rhino and fusion 360 to do the geometry and Keyshot for materials and renders
Most of these industrial designers know nothing about engineering evidently. A true industrial designer has to take into account physics, chemistry, biology(biomimetics), materials science, metallurgy, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, process engineering at the minimum. There is one pro that could come out of IDs without technical knowledge = first principles thinking.
@@somegraythings It's hard to teach something that requires so much discipline and even harder to convince someone that it will be worth it. At the minimum, I'd recommend people to learn about all the physical phenomenas that might occur in daily life. That alone will take design to the next level. Also, making it a point to browse sites like phys or eurekalert can and will help you make more informed decisions regarding material choices, new phenomena breakthroughs etc. I believe designers need to know more about the technical aspects of what they're trying to create and not just be "concept artists" and engineers need to know more about design.
my desire to become an industrial designer was completely oblitterated by the realization that everything i would be eployed to create would be subservient to the concepts of planned obsolescence and "aesthetic expiration dates" ... i also realised that if you're a person interested in creating products and tools of quality that last a lifetime, instead of manufacturing "desire" then this is the completely wrong field to do so...... become a furniture carpenter, and stay true to yourself
@@somegraythings The system won't be changed by industrial designers, but by those who employ them, and their ever increasing need for efficiency and streamlining within development and production processes will go so far that even the industrial designer will fall victim to this and be made obsolete. It's just a question of time, machine learning and computer processing power....
A bit of an oversimplification in my opinion, most of the small business I work with don't follow these principles and are conversely quite mindful of trying to add some form of sustainability into the product and/or packaging. Desire is one aspect of ultimately trying to get something to work and solve a problem, if you only work at the conceptual end of the process then you may not get too involved in the technical design aspects depending upon the company structure however. Very few products could ever last a lifetime, especially anything with some form of embedded electronics. The goal here should be to enable repair as mentioned, and also provide guidance to clients on how best to provide these services to customers. Unfortunately, until our governments get their s*** together and start providing infrastructure to manage electronic waste domestically, end of life for these kinds of products is going to be an ongoing problem.

Architectural designer here. Love these design process videos
Cool, glad you enjoyed
Idk if he made the Shrek earbuds on purpose but when he made it green was fucking funny
Who doesn’t want to wear earbuds that make you look like Shrek?
So cool! I’m a mechanical engineer but mostly work with designing for form. It’s cool to see these trends highlighted
Now go design with them 🤘
Very nice vid! I also like the Shrek earpods a lot
“…and in the morning, I’m making waffles!”
These trend videos are such a lovely, condensed way of being inspired. Are you planning on making a 2023 version? :)
Great question, i’m a little late this year so I might just do an early 2024… let’s see how the second half of the year goes
Always high quality, easy to understand, and get detail. Thanks to your explanation !
Thanks! ☺️ you are making me blush.
Good Video. I like it.
I’m glad you like it

Aahh another great year!! Thanks again for being so detailed and highlighted in the trends that I recognized this year ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching
Such a great video Gray! Very engaging and fun to watch.
Thanks Evie
Amazing stuff! Would love to see your modeling work process as I am currently trying to learn physical product design a bit. :))
It’s a big mess! That’s why I’m usually not showing it 😅
great breakdown! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Hey! I'm a product design student from India, love your videos and formats, could you please reveal what youu use to create the digital renders after sketchinng your ideas on notes.
Can we see how you model your ideas and whole process? Would be super cool
I didn’t know anyone would want to see my messy process 😅
Great video! Love how the speaker turned out :)
Thanks Steven!
What a great video!
Thanks!
@@somegraythings Thanks to you! Greetings from a student from Argentina :)
This is so helpful! Thank u💓
Thank you for your thank u
make more videos
we love your videos keep making them !!!
Ok I made a new one for you :)
hey could you do a tutorial on what apps you use to create your work and how you go about modelling them, from your prototype. Thanks big fan !
Hey! I saw you similar comment on my other vid so I answered there :) thanks for watching!
Im starting uni in industrial design next week so that will help propably
Good luck!
Thanks now my brain won't explode whenever I open tNice tutorials
Your welcome 🤯
Oh nooo now I want that speakerrr :3
Maybe you can make it for me?
I would 100% buy that speaker for the looks alone
Aw thank you ☺️
There are Harmon Kardon speakers that are similar in design
pop color is such a snice touch, check out the polestar seatbelts!
Oh yeah! I should have put that in the video
Hey, thank you so much for the video, I would like to know which is the software you model/visualize with the iPad. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I wrote it in the description for you :)
I’d call the yellow pop, *_branded color pop_*…. It’s just the yellow companies turn atm, like the wiz! Dope vid!
Interesting point!
Would love to see a video on timeless designs
Funnily enough I was thinking about this today. What would you like to see there?

@@somegraythings yeah! Would be cool to see those that have lasted and also what they influenced
Hi Gray, just curious what software did you use to get that generative design for the mic?
I used Rhino!
Do you think ID has gotten to simple in it shapes? We have reduced everything so far to basic shapes that most of it only looks good alone in an empty room by itself. Can we add more flare and details back into products to make them come alive ?

wow, very cool video, youre fire
Ouch it burns 🔥😎🔥
Can you take a video about how to design new wooden toys ?
I’ll think about it!
that is amazing
can you share with us how you model them
Thanks! Put the software stuff in the description :)
Hello bro I have question
You use what's software for modelin and rendering this products?
In the description :)
which software do you use to do these quick 3d models and renders on the ipad?
I modeled on the computer, softwares are in the description :)
Hey man, do you model your products on your iPad? I’d so, what app do you use? Thanks
Modeled on computer, check the description for deets :)
What are your favourite sources of inspiration? Sites or Blog accounts etc 😁
That’s my secret sauce :)
Hello sir ,could you please tell me which 3D program do you use for all these product designing ...please help me...
Rhinoceros, Fusion 360, Solidworks
Am an ID student from India. Cool video dude!
Thanks dude
@@somegraythings you're welcome
what design app did u use for the rendering?
Keyshot. The rest of the software I used is in the description :)
I'm not necessarily a designer but cool Video, thanks for uploading
Glad you like ☺️
softwares that you are using on mac for 3d modeling & rendering
Just put it in the description
See you probably next year 🤗
Probably!
whihc rendring software do you use ?
I put it in the description for ya :D
Awesome layout of identified trends. I definitely like the video format. It was a bit tough to focus with how many times you had said “really.” Keep it up though!
Thanks for making me even more self conscious, Liam
Really nice Designs! Which software are you using.
Should be in the description!
@@somegraythings I am sorry i didn't notice thank you
Don’t let it happen again, Jacques. (Just kidding, no problem, thanks for watching)
Fun video! Did you do all the modelling and rendering on your iPad??
No, just sharing my MacBook screen on the iPad
@@somegraythings right!!! Nice trick.
Love this video! where did you 3D model them? in the iPad?
Just sharing on the iPad, software is in the description
please make more videos!!!!
I’ll try but obviously I’m not the speediest video maker 😅
what research did you do to be able to visualise and group these trends? amazing work btw
Lot’s and lot’s of searching through the latest designs, awards, releases etc. it takes a while of looking until my brain starts seeing a pattern 😅
What is the modeling app?
I wrote it in the description for ya!
I loved how the "chubby" speaker came out, how did you go about modeling the internals for it (ie. pcb boards)?
I grabbed some random PCBs from the internet 🤫
hey!! thank you so much ♥
can you share your miro?
Thanks for asking! I think i already turned that Miro into a new project 😅
Next time!
@@somegraythings Thank you! I am an industrial design student and I really enjoy your content
Hi! very interesting compilation! I'm very curious to know how you researched the market. Did you used an specific tool?? Thanks
I have a load of resources that I use to look stuff up. Over the years I’ve kind of figured out where the good stuff is. Maybe a good topic for a future video, what do you think?
@@somegraythings definitely agreed 🤩🤩
I love this! Are you 3D modeling on your iPad? Or rendering on It? Would love to know.
No just screen sharing from macbook
What software do you use for 3d modeling?

how do you go from a sketch to a render??

@@somegraythings do you teach drawing? Im studying product design and really need to up my drawing game 😰
Lol i think I need a drawing teacher 😅 (so no, sorry) there’s a lot of good resources online though. Sketch-a-Day is a great place to start!

How to motion your 3D model?
Keyshot makes it pretty easy
@@somegraythings thanks 🙏🏻
It is work in window 7 ??
Probably not

@@somegraythings it's all on ios?
repairability shouldnt be a trend
it should be standard
True
Those earbuds look like the Surface Buds from a few years ago, lol. Microsoft ahead of the game once again...
You are totally right!
are you like back? or just like one vid a year? Bc you'd smash the game of industrial designer on youtube, the scene is practically empty! please??
Aw thanks Khwala. If you keep encouraging maybe I can do it…
