Product Design
After successfully completing this course, you can decide to apply these skills by becoming a product designer.
A product designer combines design, engineering, and manufacturing processes in order to create functional products for a particular customer. The customer and/or client are essential to think about prior to creating the concept because it will influence the design and how the product functions. For instance, products created for children are going to look and function extremely differently than adult products.
To begin, a product designer creates a concept. The concept of the product being designed are clear, thought-out sketches.
Sketches include multiple views of the design, color swatches, and color outs.
Call outs are text near a specific area of the design that further explain the design, product, or function.
They are used to draw attention to the important parts of the product and are crucial for the manufacturer or investor to understand.
Developing the concept and drawing precise sketches are the two most important steps in product designing.
They enable you, the product designer, to truly think about every aspect of the product, forcing you to think about the answers to questions that haven't been asked yet, and solutions to problems you didn't know existed. You only have one shot to sell your idea, make it count!

All 3 sketches can run together like a mural or the 3 designs can be separate...your choice. ** These 3 sketches will be graded separately. Please refer to the provided rubric for all requirements ** Step 2: Scan your final concept and upload to Adobe Illustrator. Your design must be completed entirely using the pen tool, various lines/strokes, and texture effects. Remember, your design MUST be ORIGINAL (no logos, brands, or designs already made). BE CREATIVE!
