What do graduate students study in industrial design? How to lay the foundation?

Admissions and Examination Introduction——

The undergraduate program of industrial design is mainly recruited in the art and science and engineering categories, but most schools at the graduate level classify it as the art class, and enroll students under the art and design discipline, and only a few belong to the mechanical design discipline. Thick vertical.

The score line of industrial design will not be low because of this, and it once remained high, which made the ratio of industrial design in various schools continue to rise, and the proportion of industrial design majors in Beijing Institute of Technology reached 10 1.

The Industrial Design exam consists of four courses: Politics, English, Professional 1, and Professional 2. Most industrial design majors do not test mathematics, which is a big relief for graduate students.

Most of the two major courses are designed in terms of design creativity and design theory.

Usually, the form of the creative test is: within three hours of the specified examination time, design a product according to the requirements of the question, express it in a hand-drawn way, and need to draw your design concept, process, design sketch and final scheme renderings. A given topic could be a certain type of product, or a certain group of people, or a certain Hewlett Packard Enterprise design philosophy.

Some schools may have more than just one topic, but the basic approach is the same. Generally speaking, there are no reference books for this course (if there is, it has little to do with the design content), and the knowledge used is a comprehensive application of the professional courses learned in the undergraduate, which is to show personality and reflect the comprehensive ability test.

There are two main forms of design theory questions: design history or design analysis. The history of design refers to the history of industrial design and the history of modern design, and the content of the examination includes the various schools, styles, isms, major designers and their ideas in the history of design.

The content of design analysis may be the analysis of a specific type of product, a certain type of consumer group, or a certain design concept. The perspectives of analysis include: morphology, function, human-computer relationship, color, psychological needs, etc.

If the history of design exam is relatively simple, it is enough to carefully review the reference books given. However, most schools are more inclined to test design analysis questions, there is no fixed reference book, and design creativity, mainly relying on the usual accumulation and comprehensive application of subject knowledge.

The following specific subjects need to be prepared for the Industrial Design Postgraduate Examination:

101 Politics.

201 English I.

337 Industrial Design Engineering.

503 Professional Design (6 hours).

Industrial design, abbreviated as id design. It refers to the design of industrial products based on engineering, aesthetics, and economics.

Industrial design is divided into four categories: product design, environmental design, communication design, and design management. Including modeling design, mechanical design, circuit design, clothing design, environmental planning, interior design, architectural design, UI design, graphic design, packaging design, advertising design, animation design, display design, design, etc.

Industrial design, also known as industrial product design, involves psychology, sociology, aesthetics, ergonomics, mechanical structure, photography, color, etc. Industrial design brought about by industrial development and division of labor is obviously different from other arts, production activities, craft production, etc., and it is the cross-product of various disciplines, technologies and aesthetic concepts.

1.For example, the reason why Xiaoyou likes industrial design may have a lot to do with my lack of language talent, and I have been desperately drawing since I can hold a pen, because I can draw things that cannot be described by language; Since I was literate, I began to write desperately, and I could think about it repeatedly and whip it in; I went to college and began to learn drawing, and I was able to read and draw drawings, so I began to draw drawings desperately, afraid that I would learn to draw three-dimensional modeling if I didn't understand a plane painting, and learn to do animation if I couldn't understand a scene, and I was afraid that I couldn't see what people wanted to see in tens of thousands of frames, so I learned to do virtual reality, step by step, with the development of computer graphics, the means of expression and display became more and more visual, and the language became more and more pale and weak, and as a result, I embarked on this "road of no return", trying my best to express intricate things. And take pleasure in expressing it clearly and appropriately. 2.

Learn the thinking of creation Everything comes from nothing, nothing will be created out of thin air, nature will make a part of the natural, most of it is man-made, industrial design is also pragmatic, no matter how gorgeous the concept, culture and other connotations are expressed, they need to be implemented into the product itself, and can never be separated from the creation thinking.
