INDUSTRIAL
DESIGN

Where engineering constraints meet human desires. Industrial designers define the form, function, aesthetics, and user experience of manufactured products—from the smartphone in your hand to the chair you are sitting on.

The Language of Drafting

A sketch is an idea; a draft is a set of instructions. Before a product goes to a factory, designers use standardized projection techniques to ensure engineers know exactly what to build.

Orthographic Projection
Looking at an object perfectly flat from the Top, Front, and Side. It provides perfectly accurate measurements but looks completely flat (like the 2D blueprint in the lab).
Isometric Projection
Rotating an object so the X, Y, and Z axes are exactly 120° apart. This creates a brilliant illusion of 3D depth on a 2D page while maintaining parallel lines (no vanishing points).

Form Follows Function

This famous design principle dictates that the shape of an object should primarily relate to its intended purpose or function. A coffee mug has a handle because boiling water burns skin.

Good industrial design makes a product self-explanatory. When you look at a door with a flat metal plate, you instinctively know to Push. If it has a handle, you instinctively Pull. If a door requires a sign to tell you how to use it, the industrial design has failed.
