Consumer product design is the process of creating new product
through a combination of art, science and engineering to increase
user satisfaction and to improve its marketability. Consumer product
design is the study of both functional and aesthetical aspects; and
understanding of the connection between product, user and his
environment. Consumer product design is one of the industrial design
specializations. It attempts to improve social innovation and design
for comfortable lifestyle. Consumer product design focuses on three
aspects: personal, universal and industrial products. Specific product
can be considered as Consumer Product Design which include
personal care, home appliance, office products, children’s toys,
medical product, vehicle accessories, sport and leisure product,
agriculture product and machinery. The characteristics of consumer
product may include the overall form of the object emphasizing
several elemental functions such as reliability, effectiveness, usability,
ergonomic and safety. The shape, colour, appearance and semantic
are vital in supporting the aesthetic value within the production of a
good quality consumer product design. |
