In general, in universities, the subjects that need to be studied in product design majors include the history of industrial design, product design methodology, product design rendering expression techniques, ergonomics, drawing, model making and technology, product research methods, product design report production, digital product design and product design-related software basic theoretical knowledge and basic methods, history of Chinese and foreign arts and crafts, design (aesthetics, psychology, public relations), modeling basics, world industrial design development history, design sketching, Design color, plane composition, three-dimensional composition, thinking and creativity, introduction to design, expression techniques, etc.
In addition, there are core courses such as product modeling design, product structure design, product function design, product human-machine design, and product thematic design, as well as learning and research in the direction of computer-aided industrial design, environmental art design and principles.
The product design major is indeed a comprehensive major that involves multiple subject areas, requiring students to master a wide range of knowledge and skills, as well as to have innovative thinking and practical ability.
With so many courses above, are you already confused? It's okay to learn one subject at a time, and I see so many courses at once, the head must be bigger, in fact, product design is not so complicated, to put it bluntly, it is to design the appearance and structure of the product, and then a little more popular, that isProblem solvingto solve product problems, and all the knowledge you have learned is to help you have the ability to solve these product problems.
But I see you say, it's been a semester, and I don't know what I'm learning, and I don't understand it, so I don't think it's necessary to continue to learn theoretical knowledge during the winter vacation, after all, industrial design is still a practical course in the final analysis, and it's useless to only learn the theory well, and the focus is still on practice.
I suggest you put it firstPractice your drawing skills, that is, after the brain is in stock, you can draw it smoothly, and after you can draw the actual renderings, goFind an internship at an industrial design firmAfter all, you will also go to work in the company after you finish school, and you will die in this book, so it is better to go to the company to experience it.
You may wonder, isn't an internship something you only do in your senior year? I'm just a freshman and I don't know anything, can people want me? In fact, don't have so many concerns, you just look for some industrial design companies, ask people, are you willing to accept you to listen to the **, you don't want other people's money, and then help people do more work, be smart, I don't think any company will be so unkind, should like children who are eager to learn and learn.
Looking back at your question, I think that if you can ask this question, you are already more than half ahead of your classmates, because when everyone is in a state of excitement that they have gone to college and can have fun, they will forget about the things after graduation, and you realize that you don't understand this major, and you want to tutor it again during the holidays, and your management ability is very good, and when others don't realize the problem, you willI have practiced my drawing skills, I have done internships, I have designed by myself, and I have participated in projectsIn the future, when your classmates are confused after graduation, you will already be able to take on a project alone, and your development will definitely be better than others and faster than others.
A few days ago, I just read an article on industrial design, and I felt very touched, in which the author said: "Learning is like knowing fish, the process of learning is a single-plank bridge, when you are in school, the teacher walks from the other side of the bridge, while walking through the dismantling of fish, and when he walks to you, he is holding a bunch of skeletons, internal organs and flesh, and the teacher shows you and says, 'Look, this is fish, fish is made of these things.'" And then you go away, and you're holding a bunch of stumps, and you're puzzled, and you can't figure out why, because you've only learned theory, you don't know fish at all, you don't know how to do it. Learning needs to be led by a masterYou need to enter the society, let the master take you, step by step across the single-plank bridge, and as you go, you will overlap the skeleton, internal organs, skin and flesh until a fish is formed, and he will hold the spelled fish and tell you, 'This is the fish, the fish is put together like this.'" That's when you realize that this is a fish, and you have learned how to fight fish. ”
China's current product design major is actually not optimistic, there is no strong faculty, there is no deep foundation, this major has only risen for a few years, so only in school, teachers can only teach you theory, you are out of society, those theoretical knowledge is not very useful, in fact, this is also a common problem of Chinese education.
So I still suggest that you watch more, practice more, practice more, if your hand-drawing ability has not been practiced well, I suggest you learn to draw this winter vacation, includingTechnical drawing, CAD, rendering modelingAfter practicing these, you can find an internship, try your hand at design or participate in design exhibitions, which can exercise your design ability and help your professional career!
